Antonina Medvedchuk, 31, said that when she woke up to the sound of bombing on the day the war broke out, the first things she grabbed before leaving Kyiv were condoms and scissors to use as a weapon to protect herself.

“Every break between curfew and bombing I was looking for emergency contraception instead of a basic first aid kit,” she said. “My mother tried to reassure me: ‘This is not a war like that, they don’t exist anymore, they are from old movies.’ I have been a feminist for eight years, and I cried in silence, because all wars are like this.”

The first interview they have is with a feminist zealot preparing for living out her dark fantasies, who wasn't and doesn't even claim she was assaulted.

Keep being you The Guardian.

Oh you’re going to gang rape me? Mind using these condoms first?

Even war criminals have their limits.

Slaughtering and raping civilians is one thing.

Raw dogging is quite another.

I have been a feminist for eight years, and I cried in silence, because finally I had a lived experience I could blog about online

I'm pretty sure this has happened since the first war in history. I'm not saying it's right, but it's certainly not some new occurence.

Rape is an underreported crime and stigmatised issue even in peaceful times.

Uh yeah, that's BS. Stigmatized my ass.

It's right for the wrong reasons. Try bringing up the ethnically motivated mass rape in Europe and see what happens.

Or just... men. Hell, in Britain, women can't even be rapists. And don't get me started on trans.

In places like the Balkans it's a huge stigma. That one movie about a Serbian woman escaping her family who want to kill her for being raped was not super outlandish.

Is it rape or are women prostituting themselves for sympathy bucks?

Advancing armies usually don't give women a choice. Occupation is when the prostitution happens.

Retreating armies too.

Men forced to stay and die. Women most affected.

They could be just shot like the men instead.

I have 0 sympathy for these women. What's up with the condoms and scissors? Just made up bs for dramatic effect?

Post Reported for: Rule 12 - Falsehoods

I'm confused, OP, aren't you doubting this account?

Rape was pretty big for the Soviets in WWII, which included the Ukrainians.

Anti-human ideology guarantees it. International communism, national communism, corporatism, you name it.

Ironically, this calls to mind a leftist whinge-fest about how the Israeli army is extra-racist because they don't even rape the Palestinians at a normal rate.

I give this article two honks out of five.

There's no war without rape.

What do you mean "big" though? It happened but not to the levels it did on the Russian or Japanese sides. It happened much more in Vietnam.

Not a huge issue in Vietnam, too. First of all due to the extremely easy access to hookers (through the Vietnamese very-organised crime), or in some cases to local girlfriends.
