Quote:

The trigger was a journalist's revelation that she had received a rather dubious compliment from Germany's Free Democratic Party (FDP) politician Rainer Brüderle at an official event. He told her that her chest could "definitely also fill out a dirndl," referring to a traditional dress worn in southern Germany, typically with a low neckline.

This is the kind of comment that can be laughed about and forgotten - or it can be analyzed and criticized. In this case it was the latter, with two female Twitter users getting the ball rolling.

Under the hashtag category #Aufschrei (outcry) on social network Twitter, they asked women to report their bad experiences. The response was enormous.
