| Title | SOCIALLY ENGINEERING THE "NEW" JEW From Feminine Stereotypes to Heroic Masculinity Jews, gays, and identity |
| Summary | The solutions employed by Jewish the Jewish and gay communities to combat persecution are similar and for the purpose of this study, are best exemplified by comparing the strategies envisioned by Max Norday, co-founder of the World Zionist Organization, who sought to recreate the gender-feminized, Jewish male into a "muscle Jew" and root him in his own homeland with those of Magunus Hirschfeld, founder of the first gay rights organization, the Wissenschaftlich-humanitaeres Komittee (Scientific Humanitarian Committee), who sought to remain in his country of birth and fight for his right to be different; the antithesis of assimilation. |
