Is this about bending gender roles or about cheering for military institutions who employ women? I’m so to say more comfortable with one option than the other.
PS: For context, the only 2 posts in this sub are propaganda pictures of women soldiers from Russia and some asian (not sure which country) military.
It’s about bending gender roles, but since we’re on lemmygrad we can do female soldiers also
fyi, your account and this community are both on lemmy.ml (which is a different instance than lemmygrad.ml).
So why from a Nation State army and not peoples militias like zapatistas compas or kurdish YPJ? Also worth noting: i personally wouldn’t call female soldiers gender bending as fighting for your homeland as a woman is an accepted trope within patriarchy and falls into nationalist narrative: Jeanne d’Arc in France (a famous historical figure claimed by the fascists) is an example of that and is widely celebrated yearly on May 1st by fascists of all stripes.
