 |  |  |  | #7399 |  | When my freshman roommate at Cornell found out I was Jewish, she was, at her request, moved to a different room.  She told me she didn't think she
 had ever seen a Jew before.  My only response was to begin wearing a
 small Star of David on a chain around my neck.  I had not become a more
 observing Jew; rather, discovering that the label of Jew was offensive to
 others made me want to let people know who I was and what I believed in.

 she didn't think she had ever met a feminist -- I've taken to identifying
 myself as a feminist in the most unlikely of situations.
