    As we all know, women are incapable of fighting. When we fire a gun the recoil breaks all our bones!

    You’re right, though, this is really unfair to the refugees. I’m just saying, Russia doesn’t really get anything out of this.

      I know, military service is the final boss of sexism, but that’s still how it is in Ukraine. There’s some murmuring they may be expanding their conscription to women of fighting age without children, but it is still the case that women are exempt from mandatory military service.

        Still, women are able to work and contribute to the war ecobomy. Or do they not let women run industrial machines or drive trucks or staff hospitals in Ukraine either?

          Oh, they absolutely do. As far as I’m aware though, the people Ukraine got out ASAP to any country that would have them were women whose husbands were conscripted and were the caretakers for multiple children.

            Children definitely won’t help Ukraine resist, that’s a good point. Women with children can still work, though. Many do, in fact!
