Description

Despite the extreme dangers, limited medical care, and a lack of proper maternity support, pregnant Ukrainian soldiers are actively serving on the front lines, with many framing their service as fighting for both their country and their children’s future. The New York Times presented these stories as examples of resilience and feminist empowerment, though guest host Misty Winston and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger mock the framing as propaganda and a sign of military desperation. Testimonies from soldiers describe terrifying conditions, from daily shelling to struggling with prenatal care in combat zones, while some returned to service shortly after giving birth. The story highlights just how desperate the Ukrainian military situation has become.

Olena has a phone in a trench on the front line in a war where radio frequencies are immediately tracked and targeted. Really? Does she also use its light to look for enemy soldiers in the dark?

Telling a woman to stay home with her baby instead of becoming cannon fodder is now "sexism". I learned something new today, thanks New York Times.
