We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)

I love how of all the things she could do to provide support for an army, she skipped over cooking and first aid and her brain went straight to being a prostitute
The absolute effect of liberalism on women's perception of themselves and their role in the world
This entire thread smacks of weirdly sexist brainworms to me
I’m not even talking about this because I’m believe in that “feminism is only about individual choice!” bs, but because it’s weird to imply that wanting to be a prostitute instead of a medic or a cook is some kind of mental degradation, and all three of those things being assumed as the only roles a woman would play in a war is just gross
You generally have a point but
??? Cooking and first aid are normal things for volunteers to do, male or female, it's not that she's a woman, but women seem to mostly have the good sense to not fly halfway around the world to get blown up as soldiers like some functionally-suicidal men did, even though there are certainly women on both sides of the war in combat roles.
There are some other normal volunteer roles, e.g. sanitation is very important, but you'd surely say the same thing if people were commenting on her not pursuing that ("oh! so women should be cleaners?"). Anything beyond that, like being a mechanic or nurse or something, requires a serious level of training
