Conversion stories

can be an interesting (sub?)genre. In the religious realm, they are a staple. And in politics, too, though I suspect political conversion is rarer. Even in sex. Someone once did a study of gay porn --back in the archaic days when most of it was in print, pictures with stories. A significant number of the narratives involved a straight man being seduced by a gay man and discovering that he liked it, and more.

Like coming out stories, though, conversion stories can become repetitive. Here's a political conversion story, though, which moves the genre ahead of the recent crop of Jewish leftists who became NeoCons. A New York liberal Jewish woman who converted to Nietzschean anti-egalitarianism!

Her initial article here. And a followup with responses to comments here.
