Abstract:
A chronological overview of how female antisemitism has been viewed in social science since 1945. Focuses on the contradictory views of Margarete Mitscherlich-Nielsen and Ljiljana Radonić, who are both psychoanalytically oriented. In an article in 1983, Mitscherlich-Nielsen argued that female antisemitism is due solely to women's submission to antisemitic men and to patriarchal society. Her views have been criticized by feminist thinkers since the end of the 1980s; this critique was followed up by Radonić in 2004. She contends that female antisemitism has developed and expresses itself differently than male antisemitism. Female aggression is generally forbidden, and therefore it is all the more liberating for women to express negative feelings toward a socially recognized out-group. Discusses, also, the more recent views of Samuel Salzborn, Beate Küpper, and Andreas Zick. These researchers argue that gender-specific antisemitism exists, and that female antisemitism, having initially been less aggressive initially, has grown stronger with the change in gender roles. Neverthelss, it remains more cautiously and vaguely formulated than male antisemitism.
