News / How will Polish-American relations change if Trump is elected president again? [635]


Because in many ways he is. In some aspects he's even worse, imho.


Maybe they know there's no point in talking to someone like you about it. I can't blame them lol

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

I did some googling and...


...it turnes out I'm a genius ;D Percentage-wise the most women in the US military serve in airforce and the navy is in second place - this is also reflected in the number of female generals in each branch :)

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Wow, so few? Where the rest serves then?


I've just read that the ban on women serving in front-line combat positions in the US military was lifted only in 2013. I've got to say that I'm surprised that it happened only so recently.


Here's a short, but interesting Polish article about women in the army:

polska-zbrojna.pl/Mobile/ArticleShow/12836?fbclid=IwY2xjawEdfpNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHZsdjJ8xEPR8ZHbAKYoVEF9kjVDjaXxQjhfWdZOvakx7FW8xiO931jazxQ_aem_b9oBKkuZg-FD90ngeg90fA

A big war seems to be a big "reality check" situation. During World War II at first the British command thought that it would be too "manly" for a woman to pull a trigger and take down an airplane (=kill someone), so they allowed women to be in charge only of control devices. But since fights intensified women had to start taking down airplanes too. The first kill by a woman happened in April 1942. In 1943 already 56 000 women served in British air defence forces (including Winston Churchill's daughter).

Another interesting fact - apparently commanders were more concerned about women being captured by the enemy (we all know why), then about them getting killed and that's why women were being given positions where there was zero risk of getting captured (even if the risk of getting killed was high).


Well, firstly, of course it's different, because in the past women had to fight for the most basic rights. Secondly, feminists aren't some kind of monolith. They have different views, different goals in different parts of the world, etc. As for originators being displeased - I think that would depend on what you have in mind.

@Novichok, sports - yes, for reasons I've explained on the forum before already. As for restrooms - as a woman I wouldn't be bothered by sharing a restroom with fully transitioned transgender (hormones + d1ck chopped off).

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

@Novichok, by "self-explanatory" I meant that fragment "being born" which I think should be enough of an indication whom I consider to be a woman. Because that's what you wanted to know, right? What's my stance on transgender issues?

Well, in case you're still in doubt - I don't consider men who identify as women to be really women, because biologically they simply aren't. I don't hate them though and I don't have any ill feelings towards them. I may address them as "Kate" or "Susan" if that makes them feel better, but that's as far as I can go.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Depends which feminists. I am for applying common sense, logic and just being realistic. This doesn't mean I think there should be no women in the army, obviously. There are roles they can take or maybe even branches in which they can serve without putting anyone in danger, so to speak, where physical strength doesn't matter that much - like airforce and the navy maybe. Btw, how are women doing in the US infantry? 🤔 Are there any complaints about them "underperforming"?


Well, I don't know what you want to hear then. "Being born a woman" is pretty self-explanatory for me. And a woman is the same as "an adult human female".

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Of course not, what a load of bullsh1t lol


From what I've noticed that's not what anti-feminist men want though - they want women to die in the battlefields like men. If they didn't then those men would complain that it's not "full equality", because women are getting "lighter roles". 🤷 So, on one hand they say women are unfit for those "heavier roles" in the military, but they want women to perform them anyway? Why? Out of spite? Stupidity?


I guess the simplest answer is - someone who was born a woman.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Well, if you want to - I see no reason why not lol
It so happens that people protest against laws they don't like in democracies. 🤷


Israel is a democracy, not a dictatorship though, so there must be a consensus in the Israeli society about drafting women. 🤔

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Reading your posts apparently require mind-reading ability lol


Sorry, but I don't get it o_O


What would be the point of drafting women then?


How do you know they're against it?
Women are being drafted in Israel and I haven't heard about any mass women's protests against that in Israel. 🤔

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


You're projecting :)))


Here:



That's deduction, Dr. Watson :)

@Novichok, I'm not a "toy", I'm a human being.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

@Novichok, those are not any "stupid evasive games" - this is the reality on the ground.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

@Novichok, but men usually don't want women in the army, they claim that's not what "they were made for", that they're not physically strong enough and they would be just "getting in the way". So, make up your mind first and then we can talk :)

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Yet another of your numerous lies. That's not what feminism is about.

Feminists can make a point that a woman without a husband isn't worthless and she can have a fulfilling life and that getting married doesn't have to be the most important or only life goal for a woman. We don't claim that humanity in general doesn't need men, which for some strange reason anti-feminist men like to accuse feminists of. I don't know where you get such ideas - maybe it's some kind of insecurity. 🤨


I doubt he ever got close to getting married. Poloniusz is scary lol


Plenty of right-wing men on PF aren't "real men" then :)))


Another bullsh1t. Polish families are often matriarchal and I can't say that caring about people's feelings is the main priority in those families lol

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


That's what usually happens when you have no counterarguments left :)))


And you see - this is what I mean when I write "men like you". This jab at women in general was unnecessary and unfair. I don't do that when I discuss with men - I don't put down or attack their sex. I focus on them as individuals. So, in other words - you just behaved like a sexist a-hole. There are men on PF who often do that when discussing with women here and unfortunately it looks like you're part of this group...

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Really? So you're not a conservative right-winger? Based on your posts - you do strike me as such. I'm not saying that you're a woman-hater, but I can't say I've noticed you disagreeing with Novichok and others like him when they write their crap about women either. Among men only pawian seems to be doing that from time to time. Lately BB spoke out. And that's pretty much it.


That actually sounds like you lol :)


Sorry, but judging by your views, attitude and the "choosing the bear" theme in your post it was really obvious why you picked the word "feminist". That's why it looks like you're trying to save your face and weasel out of this by claiming that the only reason why you chose that word was alliteration.
Maybe it is possible that you were so fixated on your anti-feminist agenda that you didn't even think of the most obvious word in this context, but I wouldn't say that shows you in a good light either... 🤨

Btw, you don't know me either, but you make all kinds of assumptions about me and my intentions too. 🤷

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


Yes, I have. I don't read all the posts on this forum - imagine that. You must've been mentioning it really rarely though, because I would have noticed it. You and other men like you seem to prefer to focus on the extremes on the female side.


No, it simply didn't fit your agenda.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


I wonder if you make fun of the men's "red pill" movement too? Because I haven't noticed any of the right-wing, conservative men doing that. Women "choosing the bear" are simply the female equivalent of male "red pillers".


You're lying. You could pick the word "female" instead of a "feminist". And even if you're not lying (which I doubt) you shouldn't be lying in the thread title. People can't read your mind and noone knew that you picked this word of all the words available for "poetic" reasons. It was misleading. If I didn't "pick a fight" over this with the "poor, innocent" you, noone would know that you posted false info about this woman.


Yeah, yeah - as I wrote before - don't post bullsh1t and you won't have problems with me.


Another clown.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


You did both. I don't care what your supposed intentions were (hell is paved with "good intentions" - remember?), because it looks to me like you're not going to be honest about them. The facts are that you wrote untrue things about this woman and you made it look like it was serious info.
How about you learn a lesson from this? Or your crown would fall from your head? 🙄


You mentioned this only because I asked you about it.


No, you didn't use it for alliteration, you liar. You used it because it fit the "choosing the bear" context. In other words - you were sh1tting on feminists on purpose and not for "poetic" reasons. 🤦


Yes, it is sad, because the reason for my frustration is you and other men like you. I have honestly enough of the unfair crap that men write about women on the internet. PF is a good example of this. Did you notice the amount of hate and prejudice posted by Novichok and some other men on this forum towards women (it's really hard not to notice)? Did you notice that the same isn't coming from any PF women about men, even though we would have good reasons to reciprocate? Well, it's the same all over the internet. PF is the microcosm of the internet and the real world in this regard. And I'm getting increasingly tired of this.


Johnny_reb is one of the biggest messed up trolls and liars on this forum, so if you're listening to him - that doesn't show you in good light. And I "don't pick fights" - I debunk bullsh1t. It may turn into a fight, because bullshitters usually don't like it when they are being called out on their bullsh1t and so they claim that "I'm looking for an argument" :))) And if I decide to comment on something - that usually means it's not "the most trifling of things" for me.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]


This defenitely can't be said about you. I honestly wish men would treat some issues more seriously - this world would be a better place then. Not everything is a f*cking joke.


Some more than others. And you seem to be very willing to enter that (troll) category.


I'm not looking for enemies, but I'm not blind either. Don't lie, don't post fake news and you won't have problems with me. I don't care who posts bullsh1t - whether it's you, Novichok, RuSSians, pawian, Atch or the Montenegro guy - I will be calling you out. Don't post bullsh1t and you won't get bęcki from me - simple.
