People who think War isn’t a Woman’s Business utterly confound me. Have you not met a woman? Have you not looked into the history of Feminism in the diversity of forms it has taken all over the world?
It is not for me to demand people go to war, rather my point is that the idea that Women aren’t fit for War is borderline delusional to me. Almost all of the hardest fighting, most practical, resilient human beings I have met in my life are women, I would be terrified to try to fight them on a battlefield and I am thankful most of them were good people.
The point really in the end though is nobody should have to go to war so russia should stop its illegal war and occupation of Ukraine.
In this absurd moment I am reminded of my favorite novel Ulysses and how Ezra Pound once declared the problem with publishing in english at the time was it wasn’t masculine enough… and then proceeded to be unable to find anyone but anarchist women who were brave and militant enough to publish James Joyce with their printing presses because they could not be beaten and intimidated out of doing so in the US like the men were. You point at these people and say “they are unfit for war!”. What are you crazy?

^ do you want to tell me Emma Goldman wasn’t a soldier…???
You mean Russia forces them into the meat grinder. Ukraine defends itself.
Another .world liberal who believes and regurgitates the empire narrative that Ukraine did nothing wrong and totally isnt a Nazi vassal state for the empire 🙄
Ok, I’ll bite. Which empire do you mean?
AmeriKKKa

Sorry but there are real actual Nazis in the Ukrainian government and military today. Ukraine is the biggest hub of Nazism in the world today apart from the US. Russians are not Nazis. Do you recall that little thing called WWII? Yeah Russia defeated the Nazis in that war. The large majority of Nazis were killed by the Soviets and the Nazis would’ve won the war if not for Russian communists stepping up and taking fascism seriously.

In 2014 the AmeriKKKa empire overthrew the legitimate government that the ukrainian people voted in utilizing the Maiden protests. The government currently in control is a nazi puppet government for AmeriKKKa to provoke and launch yet another proxy war
If I search for how Ukrainian women feel about being in the military, I see a lot of positive views. Although I did see some about women facing discrimination in the military but I think that’s par for the course for humanity sadly. I did find some stuff about Ukrainian misinformation campaign to downplay their casualties that western media pushed too. I also found Russia being secretive about their losses as well. These are both par as well. Sorry I realized par might not be as universal as I think, it’s a golf score thing for anyone that may not know, it means business as usual or common.
If I search for how America feels about their government, I see a lot of no kings protests stuff and negative views about it. I see some media stuff supporting the government and I see some regular people too but they all sound like REALLY into the president, hating brown people, or controlling women.
The article linked in this post is definitely saying negative things, but it’s also doesn’t look like the journalist is attempting to set aside any bias. It’s full throttle Ukraine is a fascist regime and the people are committing their own genocide by running into a Russian meat grinder. Propaganda can do a lot but I don’t think I’ve seen it used effectively enough to convince a nation to fight so futilely just to reduce their own population.
From what I understand, Israel might have encouraged either a little or entirely the growth of Hamas in order to justify their genocide of Palestinians. A little on the same line but I think different enough because it’s a government influencing another versus a government influencing its own people.
So how come I can’t find as much stuff from the Ukrainian people about their government being nazis?

Russia’s war in Ukraine was preceded by mass demonstrations by ethnic Russians in the Donbas region against their government being nazis, which escalated into the masses seizing weapons and occupying buildings. It was only after this that Russia became directly involved.
What did Ukraine do wrong in your eyes?
Not the person you asked but for me it’s all the ethnic cleansing, I’m pretty not chill with that
