Comments on: Alexandra Polivanova’s thoughts on war in Ukraine (Employee of 2022 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Memorial) https://womenalliance.org/alexandra-polivanovas-thoughts-on-war-in-ukraine/ Equal Rights – Equal Responsibilities Wed, 18 Jan 2023 03:36:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Sanja Jeraj https://womenalliance.org/alexandra-polivanovas-thoughts-on-war-in-ukraine/#comment-1179 Wed, 18 Jan 2023 03:36:10 +0000 http://womenalliance.org/?p=15553#comment-1179 I can hardly say that I enjoyed the article, just as I cannot like posts that bring bad news.
And yet I really liked the article, because the reader participates in diametrically opposed thoughts of Alexandra Polivanova: The shame and hatred of the admiration for the military and the war of aggression versus the concern and justification to the simple naive people.

It is not difficult to empathize with this inner turmoil. The Europeans, who have felt at peace for decades, are faced with the war on the edge of Europe, with a huge wave of refugees, with daily images of destruction, with inflation and restrictions in everyday life … the inner balance is staggering.

Men with decision-making power, disconnected from simple normal life, indiscriminately destroy lives and values, even sacrificing their own soldiers to satisfy their lust for even more power, supremacy, possessions and resources.
Can women stop this evil? Is it right to shift this responsibility to women?

It saddens me immensely that instead of war, mothers question equipment or food and let their sons go to war. I have no hope that these are the right motives to build up resistance.
