Find you someone who looks at you like that Japanese war prisoner is looking at that Soviet guard

[-] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 71 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The story in my family goes that my USian grandfather, who was a bombardier on the western front and was downed near the end of the war, was stuck in a POW camp for months. He claims he was liberated by an all-women, Soviet tanker squadron, and he spent the better part of the rest of life trying to explain just how bloodthirsty these women were. They were apparently the most bloodlusted people he'd ever met.

In the little bit of research I've done, he likely stretched the truth or pulled from other stories, but still some neat folklore.

They were Soviet women right?

It makes sense- ever since the cold war the Western narrative has really downplayed the mass murder of Russians and other Soviets by Germany. It was even bigger than the Holocaust and I sort of have to think of it in those terms to even slightly comprehend it.

Like imagine the Inglourious Basterds but there's 12 million of them running around at any given time. The absolute rage

[-] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 57 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, Soviet women. I just edited my comment since I forgot to mention that.

And yep, that's my take as well. These people were finally on the offensive and were ready to get theirs - with utmost vengeance.

Hell hath no fury...

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 52 points 3 weeks ago

I mean I've read stories about the Soviet Marines, and holy shit they make our "hard-core warrior culture" in the u.s look like the corporate hollowed out rotten structure it is.

Some examples here

I have this thing I don't talk about here because I'm sure it would be an enormous struggle session but I personally believe that differences in crime rates between men and women are caused by lifelong socialisation and that if socialised differently you would get exactly the outcome of what you're describing from these cool tank women.

I picked up this belief up within punk cultures where social behaviours among women are extremely far from normal compared to the rest of society and I just have this deep belief that any woman is capable of that.

[-] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

I have gone back and forward on the question. But about nasty punx grrls, remember that there is selection bias in a) getting interested in punk, then b) sticking around in the scene. Many punk scenes known as very macho cultures, with shouting, mosh pits, fighting and so on. so the women who persist are those who are able to thrive in such an environment.

One friend of mine told me that every woman should try cocaine at least once, so she can know what it feels like to have total confidence and not give a FUCK.

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

My experience is that when push comes to shove, the men in my life don't have it in them to pull the trigger while the women in my life do.

[-] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I would generally agree, that socialization plays the major role. As far as premeditated conscious aggression goes.

In 'The female of the species is deadlier than the male"

Kipling's argument was that a lot of animal species fight duels, but these duels are more or less ritualistic, meant to intimidate and force the other one to back away rather than to cause harm. So there is presumably a phisiological mechanism that prevents males from engaging in actual figthing, and then from going in for the kill in these types of situations.

While females only fight when they are forced too, for prey, self defence, or when defending their young. So there is no reason not to go for the kill.

In a human context, this would probably make a lady commander who was socialized for it, more decisive all things equal.

On the other hand, testosterone meses with stress responses, so the type of stochastic violence when someone suddenly snaps seems more likely to be male regardless of socialization.

[-] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

These are interesting thoughts, but we should be super-pooper careful when trying to apply random evopsych speculation to real world modern humans. 'testosterone messes with stress therefore sudden stochastic violence seems more likely to be male' is a wild claim based our very poor understanding of a very complex thing.

It's that kind of reasoning that backed a millenia of consensus that women are scientifically proven to be stupider, then it turned out it was all socialisation.

I could never distinguish between propaganda and reality because I had no primary exposure to it and the narratives were meant to scare Germans, but the Soviet female snipers/night bombers seem as hardcore as SAS units.

It is too late. I have portrayed you as the loser nazi ping pong team

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago

Fashjak seething over losing a game of ping pong to socialists just like how they lost to socialists in the war.

[-] TrustedFeline@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago

They were actually losing to their femdompilled Japanese ally, but the point remains

"You have to sweep thoroughly!". We had such a terrible auntie-officer. But it was fun

I'm fuckin losing it reading this. I wanna be a pow in a ukrainian soviet guarded by dommy mommies so bad, but I swear I don't want to join the inmperial japanese army

Once I had to appear in front of the doctor in a not quite decent way. She was especially worried about emaciated soldiers, persistently putting them to bed: "Time to sleep!". She had a nice voice.

one of many moments of humanity, interracial harmony and gender equality in that short article (which also has higher res pics)

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 41 points 3 weeks ago

The artist (ๆœจๅ†…ไฟกๅคซ/Nobuo Kiuchi) has a website which has translations in English, Italian, Russian, and Chinese; to view the illustrations, click "Enter" and then select one of the stories from the right hand column (it's a classic old website with separate frames for navigation and the main content). The quality of the English translation is passable but not great, so you may want to try the other translations if you speak those languages or see if using the Japanese version of the website and running it through machine translation yields better results.

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 35 points 3 weeks ago

And the tag "femdom" was born

[-] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

They was femdom way before, Venus in furs, medieval depictions of Phyllis and Aristotle etc

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

Marquis de Sade probably wrote something with woman dominating no?

[-] abc@hexbear.net 34 points 3 weeks ago

giving off some very "Ilsa, Nazi She-Wolf of the SS" vibes

[-] agentant@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

I suspect female dress code in the Red Army in Siberia didn't involve exposed legs. Now I'm curious though, were there woman guards in the POW camps?

[-] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

The camp was in Ukraine near Donetsk, apparently. Don't know about the second part of your comment.

[-] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

No, the part he's talking about is in Siberia.

[-] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

USSR were pretty up on their gender equality, I'd be amazed if there weren't woman guards.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

I could see a bit of a workplace comedy like Patlabor in here, too. God I want the full manga run lmao

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

Fujimoto weeps with envy.

[-] Kefla@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

Part of me wonders if the intent was largely just to highlight "look at these crazy soviets, they had women pretending to be people!"
