    Good thing we have no history of killing women until this point! Never happens!

    I guess that’s why war is so popular - we just famously never murder any women. Much like ordinary day to day life, really.

    Sure is good no women are being murdered.

    Just imagine the optics. Surely we would care. Like, a lot.

      Notable that the erstwhile concern isn’t even for a person’s well being, it’s for optics.

      They don’t give a shit about women, but it might hurt their fee-fees to see a sex object rendered unusable.

    Don’t tell them that the Russian army has had women fighting for it in their Great Patriotic War.

    Or do tell them I guess.

      Well that’s a “woke” commie country to them.

      Because it was the Soviet Union.

        But they do model their whole national self-image as the people “who defeated the Nazis”.

        I guess nobody said fascists needed to be consistent.

          Fascism is eternal cognitive dissonance.

          “The enemy is strong and they can easily destroy our entire civilization, but we are stronger than their puny global cabal” is the basis of all of their rhetoric.

    The YPJ is tougher than any fascist. And the philosophy behind them is something I agree with, women’s liberation is strongest when we demonstrate the capacity to project armed force.

        The legacy of Scythia remains. We will live as equals, ideally peacefully.

        And seriously the women’s armies of Syria have been an inspiration and source of awed respect since I was a teenager. I dream of a Middle East in which they may live in peace and equality.

    Yeah… keep attacking the decisions of the military… it’s not like you need their support for your upcoming regime.
