Paternalistic or patriarchal?

German Father’s Day is on a different level. It involves men (particularly young men who are not even fathers yet) going out into the woods dragging a handcart stacked with beers behind them and getting wasted.

This sign promises thick pea soup (probably with sausages in it), cooked in a field kitchen. Beer isn’t even mentioned, it’s a given.

High tide

Where the pants ever long enough? Did they shrink? Or did the guy grow?

In German we call pants that are too short “Hochwasser” (high tide). It used to be a fashion faux pas, nowadays it can be a fashion statement.
