Because bleeding to death in the mud in a filthy trench sure does beat living peacefully at home with your child.
hey i know it’s hard to read and look up things when you only have approximately one working brain cell but please familiarize yourself with the concept of wartime rape and then ask yourself who the primary victims of wartime rape are (hint, it’s women and children) because wartime rape is used as a tool of genocide, terror, and control
and this goes on for all of history. in almost every war, rape has been used as a weapon against people not even out in the fields - women and children. no one is saying that the men fighting in fields or whatever don’t have it bad. this tweet isn’t even comparing the conditions of men vs women during war. this tweet is saying that war produces hostile environments towards women and children, and feminists, who are pro women, must oppose war and all forms of imperialism. please just try to think before making a snarky and grossly misinformed comment
Also in most wars in history, there is way more citizens’ deaths than soldiers’s deaths (because of invasions, famine, war rape and murders, forced work…)
I’m dedicating this post to the 2 million women and children who were raped just in Europe, just in the aftermath of World War II. 15% of whom (~300,000) later died from injuries sustained during this rape. This figure does not include rape victims from the Pacific theater or women who were merely sexually assaulted, beaten, shaved, or otherwise tortured by liberating or occupying forces. We can never really have a precise number of how many women suffered because no one cared enough to collect that kind of data.
As during peace time, women absorb the brunt of men’s violence and frustration. The idea that women did not participate fully in or suffer from war is a patriarchal myth.
🙏🙏🙏
If men weren’t such horrible beasts maybe women and children could live peacefully in their homes
Yeah, see, THIS is a trigger. Something that prompts a horrible flashback that makes someone go into a literal panic attack. It is NOT something that makes you slightly uncomfortable, so can we all just stop tossing that word around like it’s nothing.
thank you Wreck It Ralph
Reblogging for valuable commentary
Also, can we talk about how Felix dealt with it? He NEVER used that word again (only once in front of Ralph, never by her), there was never any talk about how she could get over it, and in their wedding they all made plans to help her with her paranoia by recognising her fears and showing she was safe by pointing guns at the window and having extra security.
A++++++ on dealing with mental issues magnificently, Wreck-It Ralph!
Will never not reblog this when I see it
also this was the greatest 5 second character development in cinematic history
