A new all-German controversy has been sparked off by comments published by a journalist in Stern magazine about senior FDP politician Rainer Brüderle.
The reporter writes that in an interview she conducted with Brüderle in 2012 he made sexist comments to her.
It's now the talk of Germany and the political classes in Berlin.
It has moved away from the FDP politician to a debate about how sexism reigns in all facets of German life.
Turning out to be a great discussion.
Sexism in the institutional church?

Good suggestion. Thank you.
