It's interesting how "traditions" are so selective. At least this year during the festival on Borkum no reports of beatings were filed. But wonder what happens when no one is looking next year and year after?

Those poor women and girls, this feels more like misogyny disguised as tradition.

Ummm, someone needs to look up Easter traditions in the Czech Republic and "pomlázka". 😬😬😬 Willow-sprig-woven whip used to whip all women on Easter Monday. Made me hate being a woman. My first dog attacked anyone who approached me with it. He was a very good boy. ❤️

So many "traditions" seem to benifit very few people. Time to do away with them all.

I just came to know about this tradition after news on TV. What gets me the most: They want to hold on to this strange tradition. Okay. But why do they hit so hard? Why not just playing to hit? That in the year 24 nobody was thinking that this was wrong on so many levels?

And whoever wants to read more about this, the automatically generated subtitles messed up the spelling, it's "Klaasohm". (Btw, German here and I had never heard about this f*cked up practice before these news went viral last month🤬)

So women r capable enough to entrust with all of society for long periods of time, but not worthy of being considered equal regardless!? The lengths men will go thru to not be fair to women is the reason why i cheer for global birthrates plummeting

Heard in the news that this year no woman has been beaten that day. Not 100% sure if it's true, but I wanna believe it. As far as they told, they had a normal-ish festival without abuse. Hopefully

This makes me so sick. And she's absolutely right on her points, but specifically this one: if this tradition came about because of the men being away hunting and working, now that they are home, there is no need this to happen. And to indoctrinate your children like this...

What the actual fuck. German here didn"t know this shit even existed. This is just horrible, these women are treated like lifestock in this "tradition"...

Ah, good old rural traditions! Add Oktoberfest and the likes: drunk 40+ males drooling over teenage girls/waitresses in Dirndls. Add Fastnacht in southern Germany: drunk guys dressed as witches/devils put women/girls in cages temporarily. Can be all fun but can also be not.
