Purim revisionists: Vashti vs Esther

Some attempts to revise history make you mad, some make you sad. This one is hilarious. Unfortunately, the revisionists in this case are largely humorless fanatics of the cause, unable to see the funny side of their activities no matter what. But we, at least, could enjoy watching them. Please do so.

It just occurred to me that Megilat Esther is a Jewish revenge fantasy in the style of Inglourious Basterds...

I don't see how noisemakers wielded by children constitute revenge. Unless you had to listen to them every hour for a week. But that would be torture, not revenge.

Well, you can't ever do good enough for militant feminists.
