Why Europe Is Asking Women to Get Ready to Fight Russia - BBC World Service

Nov 23, 2025 | Across Europe, more women are being trained for war as tensions with Russia rise.


At the risk of sounding old-fashioned and ultra-traditional, I am opposed to women being sent into war. Fighting wars is a man’s responsibility, not a woman’s. Have we lost all understanding of the difference between masculinity and femininity? In times of war, women can help the war effort in other ways. To hell with all this equality! Let us keep our women feminine! It is difficult for a woman to maintain femininity when she is forced to fight on the front line. The West has lost its marbles! — © Mark Alexander
