Article here. Excerpt:

'The honeymoon is over for Germany’s 11th federal president: after a relatively good start into his tenure, Joachim Gauck has now managed to draw the ire of Germany’s feminists.

Gauck joined the sexism debate currently raging in his country by telling Der Spiegel news magazine: “Certainly much remains to be done but I cannot see widespread misbehavior of men against women in our country”

Sounds innocent enough but, Gauck also detected “virtue fury” (Tugendfuror) in that debate and at least some feminists are furious, indeed.'
