The Fatherland?
Well, for a country that calls itself "The Fatherland," Germans seem to have gender roles reversed from the rest of the Western world...or at least the English.
In my ongoing observations I'd say the majority of German women I meet are really independent, self-assured and strong-willed, whereas a lot of the men seem to be emotional and passive. This matriarchal dominance seems to be a departure from what I'm used to.
This could also explain the un-manly sitting down to pee post I wrote earlier.
