There are folk customs, right? The so-called traditions. These are the things that we learn from our elders, observe and then pass on. Without any exaggeration, these are part of a nation's identity. We are somehow Hungarian because of the fact that in our country, men sprinkle women on Easter Monday.
Of course, this folk custom is no longer what it used to be. Today - almost - no one covers the neck of their loved one or relative with a bucket of water, and even it is relatively rare for giggling boys to splash squealing girls on the neck from a soda bottle. Nowadays, perfumed colognes are in fashion - poetry, squirts, kisses, eggs and that's all. Well, there are my favorites, the emancipated ones, who couldn't rest this time either. I would quote one from social media:
"Many women and girls today are happy that they are not doused with stinky patchouli, they are not humiliated with soda siphons, and they do not have to put up with pouring cold water on their necks either. There are excruciatingly stupid, sexist and barbaric customs that have no right to exist in the 21st century. in century European culture. One of these is the Easter sprinkling."
There is trouble…
And of course, everything that is traditional is good. Maybe I live in a strange world, but I have a nephew who practically broke the house on Monday morning - if he wants to spray, he will spray - and then he sprayed my still half-asleep daughter with cologne, he stole the chocolate, everyone Easter Monday was happy and continued on the road decorated with ham and eggs.
This is how we Hungarians have been for a few hundred years. Of course, it also happened in the past that the man drank a brandy after the more successful watering - in every place where he stopped and in the end this had an effect incompatible with sobriety. Once a year, under normal circumstances, maybe even this fits.
With us. Not with the withering emancipated. Let's just say that nothing fits in here, not even what is a legal difference between women and men. There are differences, but we won't go into detail about them, we already know them. And also that we men are allowed less and less according to the progressives.
You can't say that a woman is beautiful, but maybe you can't say that she cooks well, and drinking water isn't an advanced folk custom either. The emancipated and their male companions would kill everything that was traditional and Hungarian. We don't give up and fight for them, because they are us. Let's not even talk about the fact that we are still the majority, but the minority is louder and more aggressive, because you can only destroy by screaming and attacking.
