    Women dress in costume - flood into city buildings - cut off men's ties and then kiss the men. Oh yeah - that there is some real hard core feminism.

      That is the right form of feminism.

      But ugly women trying that should be jailed for sexual harrassment.

      Yeah. Whenever I hear the word 'German woman', I think of a pigtailed big-boobed girl in her 20's named Heidi serving giant mugs of beer to beer-thirsty men. Not this!

          I'm not sure it's a strong argument if you use an actress who died of old age a dozen years ago...just sayin

          I'm sure this is a fun festival day - it's compared to Mardi Gras - act silly and drink a lot. Nothing wrong with that.

            I'm willing to bet the German gals look just as good as their American counterparts.

    Sounds a bit patronizing. The Romans used to set aside a period in their Saturnalia festival in which slaves swapped roles with their masters. Nobody was fooled into believing the slaves actually had any power.

    Equals shouldn't need concessions.
