Meteor pulverizes sexism debate

In Germany, the last remnants of the sexism debate are gone.

We had decided to keep a record of this debate, to not just write one or two posts snickering about the actors involved and about the reporting itself.

Unlike the regular media, we would alert readers when all was over.

Hence, we closely followed the pitch of the discussion, saw it culminate, then wane, saw it get reduced to a whimper with the male locker room penis length thing, and finally get pulverized by the Russian meteor.

We do feel with the single male waiter at a women's conference in Germany, who was accompanied from the door all the way to the speaker's lectern by a rising wave of giggles and laughter as the conference participants realized the role reversal in front of their eyes.

But we still don't like it how media coverage derailed to "men are abused too" without ever mentioning that women received the right to vote less than 100 years ago in our oh so democratic societies.

The sexism debate will flare up again, just like an unexpected meteor shower.

We know it lurks out there and will rain down on us, we just don't know when, where, and what the damage will be.
