A Grannie coming after me with a weapon would scare the ■■■■ out of me. I have seen a lot of women on TV that have weapons and are going to defend their country. Kudos to them all!
some Grannie was throwing Jars of Pickles at Russian drones in Kyiv.
No, war does not need to be like this. Putin lied about not attacking civilian targets. The Russians lied when they said that they would have a cease fire to allow folks to escape, and then fired on them. Putin and Russia are committing war crimes. It didn’t have to go this way.
Canada could have taken the USA by throwing jars of pickles. But they ran out of pickles.

During WWII, some of the fiercest fighters against the Germans who had invaded Russia were women. There has to be some irony in that.

You have to remember that all of them lived through WWI and saw how atrocious that was.
They were excellent snipers.
I can’t remember what her name was, but there was a Russian lady sniper who racked up a kill count of around 130-150. She fought from 1942 until 1945, from Operation Uranus to the villages of East Prussia.
Poor woman, along with several female and male comrade snipers, was killed by German artillery fire. She had just finished and sent a letter to her mom telling her she had gotten engaged to a Soviet major.
Lyudmila Pavlichenko she was born in Ukraine.
Thanks for the reminder. Totally forgot she was Ukrainian.
Antony Beevor told her story in the Fall of Berlin 1945. Probably my favorite book about the final months of the Eastern Front. If anyone hasn’t read it, I highly recommend it.

I would never pick a fight with a Slavic woman.
Ever see the movie “Little Big Man” where Jack gets married to Olga? Great part of the movie.

How do people feel about the Ukraine only requiring that the “males” stay to fight?
The Ukraine is sooooooooooo yesterday.
everyone between the ages of 17-55 should stay and fight. if they won’t fight for their country they have no legs to stand on to complain. people between 17 and 55 should be turned away at the border.

I can understand if a woman wants to fight but only if she does not have children to care for.

Then who will take care of a family with four children, say ages two to eight? Is the eight year old to take over the care of siblings?

54% of the population are female.
That was not the question posed by the OP.
Try to focus!!
When it comes down to war or being drafted, the most rabid feminists will morph into June Cleaver.
