The “Shot Special” in the “Artesano” bar sparked a sexism debate.
The Ebersberg women's emergency call was indignant about drink names like “port hooker” and “horny pussy”.
Ebersberg
- The history of
alcoholic beverages
is a story of more or less original naming.
Cranberry, vodka, peach liqueur and orange juice - that sounds appealing if you like it sweet.
As
"Sex on the Beach"
, this
cocktail is
one of the most famous in the world.
The name does it.
In
Ebersberg
, this phenomenon
triggered
a veritable
sexism
debate
via a
drinks
menu
.
This was ignited by the
“Shot Special” of
the
“Artesano”
from last weekend.
The
lounge
bar advertised a list of liqueurs
on
and
, including “Kettenfett” (liquorice),
“Scharfe Granate”
(pomegranate chilli), but also
“Hafennutte”
(strawberry),
“Hot Widow”
(plum) and
"Horny pussy"
(Cherry-banana; here the Internet research only provides a drink as a result after several attempts - and thus an indication of the
problem
).
Sexism debate in Ebersberg: “Artesano” bar offers questionable drinks menu at “Shot Special”
The cardboard-sweet offer from the
Ebersberg women's emergency number is pissed off
.
In a
Facebook post
, the voluntary advice center calls the choice of drinks
“sexism in its purest form”.
When asked by EZ, Angela Rupp, the managing director, explains why: The
female anatomy is used
in a
degrading way
in advertising for such products.
And the names also conveyed a
sexualized, disparaging image of women.
“We don't want to leave it that way,” says Rupp.
The women's emergency number sees itself not only as a contact point in the event of
domestic and sexual violence,
but also as part of public lobbying for the interests of women.
This
sexualization is
a
problem
especially in connection with
alcohol
, explains Rupp.
There is hardly a young woman who has not already been confronted with
highly sexualized pick-up lines
and intrusiveness
in the nightlife
.
“It starts with language,” warns Rupp.
“This creates images in the mind.” And those who resisted would like to deal with the
perpetrator-victim reversal
- “Don't be so prudish,” they say.
Or personal attacks on one's own appearance followed.
In contrast, the
women's emergency number
wants to
raise awareness.
The advertising adviser was asked here - but they had also
hoped for more insight
from the operator of the
“Artesano”
.
“Hafennutte” and “Hot pussy”: Ebersberger Frauennotruf outraged by the sexist drinks menu
Danjiel Babic, the landlord, deleted the
controversial liquor menu
from the network on Friday in view of the criticism.
The
shot special
with
“Geiler Muschi”
and
“Hafennutte”
was still available at the weekend.
“I can’t help the names,” said Babic when asked by EZ.
The
"harbor hooker"
and the
"Geile Muschi"
come
ready-filled from the manufacturer.
“I didn't mean to piss anyone off,” says Babic too.
And: "That was
not intended to be misogynistic."
The guests would have accepted the drinks well across the board - regardless of age and gender.
“Everyone ordered that,” says the landlord.
"Otherwise every après-ski bar would have this discussion." For Babic, the case is closed - it was a
one-off "special"
anyway
.
Women's emergency call calls for sexism debate over drinks menu: Unfortunately not an isolated case in the restaurant business
Not only since the
“Black Lives Matter”
movement has the
“Cola white” replaced
the
“Negro”
on the
drinks
menu
- the
majority of
society
has agreed that the name is
racist
.
The
sexism debate
is apparently still in full swing;
Result: open.
A restaurant in the northern district also advertises with the slogan: “Your wife can't cook?
Never mind
Eat with us and keep your wife as a hobby! "

Sexism debate about drinks menu: men on Facebook annoyed by female outrage
Mostly with
angry smileys
, the female Facebook fans
wordlessly supported
the
women's emergency number's
contribution to the promotion of the
“Artesano”
.
“Dogged”, “hysterical”, “It's annoying!”, On the
other hand
,
is the criticism of the
women's emergency number
on its
Facebook post.
The
commentators
who react there like this:
all men.
What is still acceptable advertising, and where does sexism begin? This has already been heatedly discussed in Dorfen (district of Erding). The trigger for the sexism debate was the advertisement of an insurance agency in Taufkirchen. The sexism debate triggered by a Passau student at the beginning of the year reached a much wider audience. She was outraged by the lyrics of the Danube Song - a popular beer tent hit - and demanded that the song be banned immediately from German folk festivals.
