Special for the Armenian Weekly
In post-genocide or post-catastrophe periods, women are often left out of the national collectivity. That is, in the gendered classification between public and private space that characterizes national structures, women are restrained within the private space and their contributions to public life of the nation are often ignored or erased from history.

Great article. One must make sure that any feminist movement in Armenia does not end up like a Swedish or British style third wave feminism which is more concerned with gender neutral pronouns or breast feeding. As for the former, the armenian language as I know it has no word for he or she, so that’s that dealt with.
Armenia as it is to my knowledge does not have any boys only schools which a lot of western nations still have to this day e.g Harrow, eaton etc. One must make sure that gender segregation and equality take precedent over glamorised whoredom where women show their breasts as a sign of so called equality, which is nonsensical as men don’t show their private parts in public.
Listen here. The next generation of Armenians are going to be predominantly men. Remember one thing, only Armenian men can continue the Armenian ethnicity. Ethnicity is paternal, do not buy into the cultural Marxist nonsense. We don’t need half-breeds from the Armenian female’s side, and there are no half-breeds from the Armenian man’s side.
Armenian men define who is Armenian and who is not. We can breed with Blacks and make Blacks the new Armenian imagine with Armenian last names. Armenian last names also belong to the father, remember this.
My point is that we do not need to make our men feminists. You want to see what feminism does to men? Look at Sweden. Look at Germany. Look at Britain. Look at leftist men from America.
Feminism =/= gender equality.
This was a great article. The views of people like David here represent exactly the extent of the problem, and how necessary it is to struggle against it even today.
The mentality of domination of one group by another, of one people or nation by another, began with the domination of women several thousand years ago. The liberation of women in our own society is the beginning of the liberation of all from domination.
