Today I have to be careful. Anyone who engages with Annalena Baerbock is quickly insulted as a jealously-eating charge of the patriarchate. I have already experienced all kinds of insults, although I have never spoken to her about being a woman. Would be foolish. Unfortunately, her achievements at the head of the Foreign Office – completely gender-neutral – are more of a foreign shame. As now again.
