Interesting. On kind of related note, over here in the more left-leaning US state where I live, the non-binary thing is in full swing in higher education and among teens. How is it there?

@Alpha-Budgie I would say so. West of Germany is pretty traditional and women older than 25 usually are pretty submissive and family oriented. I wouldn't say they expect them to be home though.
I'm curious, would you consider gender roles in Germany to be more traditional than in other western countries? I remember when I was in Stuttgart in 2008, they would send the kids home from school at random times. That implies to me that they expected women to be home. Am I wrong?
Any advice for good spots in Berlin? I'm here till the end the of the year.
@drake It's one thing to ask specific questions and another to expect people to shove information down your throat to avoid researching on your own.
@uebermacht well, depends on what you are looking for. Myself I would prefer to meet fewer people who I can count on. I have been here for a short time (almost 2 years) and I still have to find a friend I can rely on.
Well, depends where you we born and raised, as a foreigner Germany can be cold and german girls not fun and boring. As I was in at the Woodstock Festival in Poland, the polish folks I made friends with made jokes about germans as stiff and arrogant and so on. It was fun to laugh with them, especially if you know both sides as a german and non-german.
Berlin has its own world departed from rest the rest of Germany. I completely agree with the point about people not reliable and talk to anyone. However, you meed a ton of people, some of them pretty awesome and you stick together to have tons of fun.
