after World War 2, soviet female soldiers were not met with respect.
while male soldiers that were coming back were praised, women used to hide their medals and kept their own victories as secrets. they were not only seen as lesser beings, women that fought in the military were called "frontline dolls". post-war society considered them used. families estranged them.
women that fought for their country, risked their lives, came back disabled were not important to the society anymore. they were raped, they had things thrown at them, they were laughed at. no man wanted to marry them, and nothing was as dehumanasing towards women as not being considered "marriage material" -- they basically lost all of their worth to male society.
to our knowledge, there was close to 1 million of women on the frontlines. they fought just as hard only to lose their lives either in combat, or back home. most of their names were lost and never remembered again.

Oh hey check out my dad!
tbh adopting body neutrality has been life-changing for me like I no longer feel tied to my appearance. It took away the pressure to be always “pretty”. Letting go of beauty standards and rejecting anything that fuels insecurity has been incredibly liberating. Honestly, I’ve stopped shaving and wearing makeup altogether, and it made me realize how men behind big corporations have brainwashed us into believing there's something wrong with us. Young girls obsession with shaving their legs and arms or else they’ll be seen as “disgusting” is just sad also so many influencers are also promoting it not realising little girls are learning from them:/
This woman is Dr. Grace Murray Hopper. She created the first computer language compiler tools to program the Harvard Mark I computer. This computer was used in WWII after 1944. John von Neumann initiated the computer's first program, but Hopper invented the codes
it was a matter of time before noah said a slur on camera. can smosh get rid of him already?
libfems to blame tbh. words don’t have meanings for them anymore.
Why on Earth did we normalise the word ‘whore’ and added it to our every day lexicon? Since when did it become normal to address random women on the internet in such manner? And why do women accept this?
Almost 7 years ago three girls in Moscow named Krestina, Angelina, and Maria Khachaturyan (19, 18 and 17 years old back then) agreed to kill their father. Only now in 2025 the court agreed they had the reason to: the deceased was tried posthumously and finally had been found guilty of abusing them.
He was a violent drug-addicted person with police connections, who beat his wife Aurelia for 20 years, kicked out his son when he was about 14 then Aurelia herself, and forbad her to contact the girls. He raped and tortured his daughters, threatening them with weapons and controlling their every move. Nobody helped even after he pulled them out from school.
In one of the interviews, Krestina told about the order their father established at home:
He demanded that we always be there and come at his first call. He had a special bell, which he rang, and one of us should immediately run up to him, day and night. And do whatever he says — to bring water, food and miscellaneous other… He could not make an effort even to open the window himself, and we had to serve him as slaves.
One night when he got angry with them again he tortured them with pepper spray, causing Krestina, the oldest, asthma attack. Later that night the younger sisters attacked him with knife and hummer and with the help of Krestina who woke up because of sounds of fighting they killed him.
I remember the initial news, the details about abuse that came later, the arrest of three girls. The BIL of the deceased was called a victim of the crime and was doing everything he could to influence the prosecution and the court so they would punish his nieces in full. He denied the abuse, accused them of lying, girls’ messages were leaked and used to paint them as spoiled brats. Our ‘Incels movement’ joined him in this.
At the same time there were a lot of feminist protests going on, and I think it was the last huge joint feminist activity before the war began and feminism was called destructive movement close to terrorism (they haven’t banned us yet, but it could happen any time). And it worked, it helped, and I think the decision to charge the deceased father with abuse was one of the last good news we had here.
In the year 2025 when feminism is a dirty word in our country, when domestic abuse is no more a criminal offence, when people get twice longer sentences for antiwar graffiti than for rape or murder, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the news today. I hope that sister will be found not guilty or at least will be considered righteously defending themselves and will get suspended sentences. Didn’t they suffered enough? They are still forbidden to meet each other.
