The 'Eastern Witches', as the children are also called, are mostly girls. Boys can also participate if they like, but generally seem less interested in this communal custom. Women kind have their own thing with chocolate.Soul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 2:42 pm stuffing our faces with chocolate bunnies and eggs, about as unfresh and unhealthy as it gets, my bodily tolerance for which is very low, and which always left me feeling sick ...

I don't agree with Baum that Eastern Witches are especially "wicked", despite the lust for chocolate. On the contrary, it's easy to imagine some kind of elemental connection between chocolate eggs and changing diapers. Putting more masculine creativity into developing better recyclable diapers - for both babies and the elderly! - is a very rational and justified concrete wish I've heard expressed, not less important than spear throwing with rocket science or electric cars.
