      The West has lost much of its moral compass in recent decades, but what's missing in this decay is the role that the Bolsheviks played in this- in fact Putin's own KGB. The late Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov (videos still on YT) revealed the long plan and the complete process used by the Soviets to subvert the west, and declared that in many ways it had succeeded beyond the wildest KGB dreams. So Putin and his cronies demoralized and destabilized western institutions, then point out the rot that they created. Nevertheless, the decay and deception of Communism and the oligarchy that is Russia is even worse.

    You have hit the nail right on the head regarding the pressure on women in ruzzia to have more children at a younger age. This toxic masculinity ties into the callous disregard for the deaths of their "soldiers" on the battlefield, and why ruzzians respond to those deaths by saying "women will make more."

    Anna, as a man I love what you are saying. I love women and wish them no harm. It has been evident to me for several years that toxic masculinity is used against us men. It is so used in many parts of the world and especially in Russia. Toxic masculinity is thrown like candy to men, to condtion us into behaving like beasts, fighting each other over power and who sleeps with who. This was never the world I wished for. I want something intelligent, something compassionate. Something to love that brings hope. I know someone will answer my comment with questions like "what about violent and betraying women?" My answer is that Toxic behavior is not ok for women either, but at this time I see no woman world leader who is causing this amount of harm. Slava women!

      @@jamesgornall5731in a good deal of the studies you mentioned, Russia either has no data or only partial data when it comes to violence against women. So it’s impossible to compare the two countries in any truthful way based on the sources you mentioned. However, OSCE does confirm the decriminalization of domestic abuse in Russia in 2017, which Anna cited. Feel free to look at one up. If something is decriminalized, the result of that is that there are fewer arrests, less data collected, etc. So even if you do see results on violence against women in Russia since 2017, that the numbers are going to be artificially low. As for before that? More than likely the culture that resulted in such a law being passed resulted in low levels of prosecution or reporting even before that. So I stand by what Anna said, who IS a woman in Ukraine and who knows her experience very well, and can see the experiences of women around her. As for the phrase she reported (“If he beats you, that means he loves you”), this is a phrase that I heard previously from Russian vloggers reporting on the situation in their country. It is a cultural issue that Russia deals with, where domestic abuse has largely become normalized.
      Regarding the “gender-equality index”, I’ll give you that Russia and Ukraine are within a couple of points of each other. But the UN statistic states that this index is a composite of “reproductive health, empowerment and the labor market”. So this does not take into account violence against women, which for the reasons I’ve explained is either unreported or underreported.

We're not some knock off side kick characters to embolden women in their quest to feel like they're as good as men at all the same tasks(they're not). We are still conquerors, protectors, providers. And yes, respecting women is one aspect of manhood; respecting women is not giving in to the demands and whims of women constantly.

    Couple years ago I watched a feature on TV talking about relation between man and woman in Russia and it was very disturbing. A older Russian woman, who managed a sanctuary for women, said „our man aren’t any good“. Depressing.

      There is also familial abuse. Anyone in a family can be a perpetrator or a victim... even sons to their mothers... though at least in our country; we recognise that now. It's not only men or husbands who abuse women, sadly.

      ​@@AJ-Lohinska this is not that complicated. Both parents do pass generational trauma to children unwillingly - this does not exclude that the mother sincerely loves or cares for her son, she just doesn't know any better. The result is that even trying her best to not pass the trauma, the child will inherit some traits and simply learn the rest of pathological social behaviors by observing.

      Not being familiar with quantitative genetics, nor that educated in the theories relating to the environmental variance for personality, cognitive abilities, and psychopathology, in the familial sense, within shared and non-shared environments; I'm not the world's leading expert. I just understand that we all have,, or develop our own individual minds, regardless of our inheritance or environment at home.
      We might inherit certain things genetically, but it is *always* up to us what we do with them. I know we can inherit altered brain cells in our DNA from our parents who will have suffered trauma(s), we can inherit the very genes that made our parents resilient or non-resilient. But I could never put any percentage of any blame onto a parent whose child, in their own adulthood, decided to (e.g.) murder another... could you?

    Actually, the demographic crisis is even worse. In addition to the over 300K men lost on the battlefield, 700K to 1M left the country. These were also men of military age, and the ones who would start families. This is one reason that it is unlikely that Russia would be better placed to fight a war five or twenty years in the future. They are rapidly running out of men to fight future wars. Just think, sons born now, and I mean right now, would only be ready to fight in 20 years. There is also the mismatch between males and females in the childbearing cohort. This was true even before the war, and it gets worse.

      However, many did not left the country for the reason of migrating, but because of the economic sanctions and reconstruction outside of Russia with non-sanctioned ressources. In a afterwar situation, those will most likely return. However, demographics in Russia are bad, but not among the Muslims. That being said, a Russia which attacks Ukraine in that way is not in any form a protector of Christian or European conservatists.

There are plenty of examples of great women being very important parts of history and some of our best politicians are women like Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocosio Cortez just to name a few.

    I am married to a Serbian woman, and during the wedding ceremony my late mother in law translated the words of the orthodox priest to me whispering: "he said you should always hear what your woman says and obey." At that time my Serbian still had been very poor and I had sometimes difficulties to understand it, as it is quite different from russian. My wife and I, hearing my mother in law, had to smile and, as the priest also had heard it, he smiled too. :D In my eyes the kind of russian "masculinity" is not an ideal to strive for. This is also the reason I gave my office I had held for more then 40 years to my daughter (the second youngest of six daughters) and I am proud to see it thriving well. She is better in business than I ever had been. Point. :D Slava Ukrajini!
