"Male" and "female": is there no difference?
When the "masculine" and "feminine" principles are discussed in society, it must be understood that this is not about men and women.
We are talking about control and submission, about aggression and about acceptance, about rigidity and about softness.
Not about members and vaginas.
Men, of course, were very happy that the Universe had prepared for them the role of dominators and conquerors. But I hasten to upset you! The same role may be in women.
Because the roles do not depend on the genitals, but on personal qualities.
To make it clearer, you should generally stop calling masculine and feminine masculine and feminine, and call it, for example, Alpha and Beta. Or Black and White. Or Dog and Cat.
By the way, to talk about cats.
In some lion pack, the roles of males and females can be clearly distributed. They can afford to have rigid gender roles limited by their nature.
But people are not lions.
All of us are incredibly complex creatures. There is a huge difference between us and the lions, so it is useless for us to cling to the functions prepared by Mother Nature, which were relevant a million years ago. Now they are absolutely dissolved in our multiplicity and development.Now we are much more complicated.
So much more complicated that we can try on both traditionally masculine and traditionally feminine. We can subjugate, and obey, and love, and be loved, and accept ourselves, and hate.
"dominators and conquerors"are fancy words, but in reality:All the rest is just Biology.
Sorry, man, but I come from Russia, so for me this is a weak argument.
You mischaracterized my intended will for communication,
What does this image show exactly? The dominators? The conquerors? or just people who were/or enlisted by necessity to defend their country and families? Do you think these two women were happy about the situation?
I didn't discuss the role that women played in WW2 even though official statics from all countries that suffered casualties during WW2 show clearly that the number of death is extremely high among men compared to women but this information is pointless and don't mean a thing. Women played mostly auxiliary roles and provided excellent medical support, isn't this honorable? or you think that women need to be in the front lines and die just to fill a gender quota? I personally like the idea that women played a major role in the workforce during and after WW2, far from the front lines. But again, instead of highlighting the key roles that women played during and after the war to rebuild the society and economy of many countries, people are still focusing on trivialities.
War is and will always be the domain of men, sending women to the war out of extreme necessity is understandable, but I prefer to die over subjecting women (mothers, sisters, wives, ...) to the savagery of war. This isn't a victimization competition, you used
"dominators and conquerors"as if it's something good, something that only men enjoy. What I tried to show you with that image is that it isn't. Nature didn't favor men, it's a burden that men need to bear, same as with women for other things in life.Women trying to behave as men is the most disgusting thing that men can see in their life, the same with men trying to be feminine. The funny thing is that even women who endured WW2 and fought for their country were statistically happier and probably more feminine compared to women in modern times, why is that? The answer is quite simple I think, it's the fulfillment, luring women far from their innate qualities will only harm them.
Keep in mind that a man can fall in love with a woman just because of the way she moves her hand or plays with her hair, even a small infinitesimal thing can move the hearts of men. This is femininity, beautiful patterns of behaviors that only healthy women would do/express innately, and believe when I say that trying to act manly isn't one of them.
In the end, I doubt very much that the elegant Mariya Oktyabrskaya decided to go to war just because she felt women were underrepresented in the army. She did it because she loved her husband. Love, something that modern feminism wants to annihilate completely between men and women.
With this photo, I wanted to show that burden that you are talking about and women, if you like talking about the World War. This burden and sacrifice is blasphemously compared with the static victims based on their gender and the responsibilities delegated to them.
"- Women played mostly auxiliary roles and provided excellent medical support"
Russian women of the Second World War are not only the background and nurses. They worked in factories, were snipers and scouts, they killed enemies and suffered no less. The women of my family are one example from millions where they felt the horror of war on themselves and where they were forced to pick up a gun and go to kill.

It is logical to assume that they were not happy with the state of things, but I can’t call the recruitment and love of husbands a worthy cause. This is the main irony of all the arguments of foreigners about Russian women, about Russian soldiers.
You can talk about it for hours, but don’t understand the main driving force and mentality. it’s hard to describe, it’s fear, it’s hatred and love for one’s homeland.
I don’t think that with the elegance and love of husbands, my people would be able to triumph over the enemy and cleanse their lands.
Oh yes, I forgot that war is the lot of men, and women are just an extreme necessity. Don't you think that sounds a bit limited?
" - Women trying to behave as men is the most disgusting thing that men can see in their life"
"- This is femininity, beautiful patterns of behaviors that only healthy women would do/express innately, and believe when I say that trying to act manly isn't one of them."
I don’t know what offended you so much, women who, as you bother, try to behave like men, since you allow yourself to say such things to them and analyze whether they are “healthy” or not by their behavior. But this once again puts you in your frame and makes you forget that each of us is individual and is simply a person, not a character who suits beautiful behaviors or tries to imitate someone.
I do concur with you, but statistics don't care about emotions and suffering, they only show specific numbers about specific things. Now if you come to me and say that women suffered emotionally more than men, I may agree with this as well since women aren't suited for war. We need to put a clear line between statistics, and emotions. Jews are saying that they are the people who suffered the most during WW2, and you can go to jail in certain countries if you say the opposite thing. Suffering can't be quantified, but historical events can, and statistics can play a role in showing some aspects of the war.
I agree that's why I said mostly, and not only. It's all about the numbers/percentages. Everyone was affected by the war, but statically speaking, casualties by gender differ that's all.
Again, this isn't a competition, I don't want to reach a point where people fight over whose suffering is the most important, 1,000,000 men or 1,000,000 women.
Not quite sure if you feel in love before, but I find it quite surprising. If women won't go to war for love, men will definitely do it. Maybe we are just stupid, but this is who we are.
Why are you saying this like if we are leaving you behind? while in reality, men do it to keep women safe.
I ain't complaining, everyone has his own reasons to fight, I did mention love only in the case of Mariya Oktyabrskaya. Just to be precise.
Yea, I am so offended by your madness.
Just kidding =)
That's why feminists hate statistics and biology, saying "
each of us is individual and is simply a person" and "not a character who suits beautiful behaviors or tries to imitate someone" isn't going to change scientific facts. I think you mixed personality with femininity, all women are different.I understand that women are now victims of a perverse culture, society is always pressuring women to accord with specific standards of beauty and other things ... hence the need for women to define femininity, instead of pushing girls to the abyss of gender fluidity and non-binary madness. If you leave the space empty for anyone to fill, then a person with short blue hair will fill it for you.
P.S: Russia will always hold a special place in my heart, even though I'm just a foreigner.
