German island to end ritual of spanking women with cow horn
A centuries-old tradition in Germany's Borkum in which young men hit women on the buttocks with a cow horn during the Klaasohm festival will be discontinued.
"Are we the baddies?" Ask the people who also forbid any media coverage of their actions.
I swear we can't have anything nice.
There was a counter-protest of women from the island to keep that tradition.
Womens rights don't matter! This is for equality!
There are ghouls and trogolodytes among us and they arent going anywhere. We have to find a way to maximize humanities better nature and minimize the bad stuff. We just have no idea how to do that.
For starters, Religion in general has clearly failed us and been more of a problem than any sort of help. How much better of a world would it be without any concept of holy lands or tribal traditions that are worth dying over?
What the fuck, bruises and not being able to sit for a few days. That's way worse than what I envisioned from the beginning of the article.
That article was even weirder and creepier than I expected. By a lot.
Also some interesting bits from a different Austrian tradition:
The Krampuses are now encouraged to only symbolically brush festival-goers, and not actually whip them.
Many Germans doesn't even knew about this until recently.
This is some weird ass backward-Island-tradition. Fucking Creeps.
Midsommar vibes
I'm much into Warhammer Fantasy lately and thought this is some fucked up Chaos-Ritual-Bullshit.
But yeah thats fits also very good 😂
You dare to mock the sanctity of the spanking of the fraulein with the cow horn, Ed boys?!
A Rolf quote in the wild.
Very similar to the tradition on the nearby Dutch island of Ameland. Sunneklaas
Must be something in the water.
Ok, good first step. When do the prosecutions for physical abuse start?
Thats the neat thing, they dont. You just talk about them and never do them. We call it "bipartisanship" in the US.
Disturbingly, it was because the practice was considered unfair to the cows.
A centuries-old tradition in Germany's Borkum where young men hit women on the buttocks with a cow horn using cow horn during the Klaasohm festival will be discontinued.
With a cow horn using a cow horn? Sounds like a difficult thing to do, holding a cow horn with another cow horn. I'd have assumed the coefficient of friction would be too low.
It's just a missing period.
...with a cow horn. Using cow horn during...
And so will the women, after being spanked with a cow horn.
THIS is what the liberal media wants for america
This is probably childs play compared to where America is going.
One man laughs it off as harmless fun, explaining that "when they [the young men] see a woman, they beat her up a bit with a cow's horn," adding that "it's not really violent."
The anonymous former islander points out that men would actually feel proud if a woman could not sit for five or six days after being hit.
Mm hmmm not violent for sure
That's why you go with Krampus, Krampus cares about consensual non-consent
