If anyone has read an action comic called Charley’s War there was a funny bit on this.
Basically the main character is serving in world war 1 and gets shot in the foot by a friend. Everyone thinks it’s self inflicted so when he goes to the infirmary a hot nurse gives him this and the two hate each other. She then finds out it wasn’t self inflicted and comes to apologizes, instead of the generic “oh don’t apologize “ Charley goes full insult mode calling her out and saying how he’ll tell the boys in his battalion about her doing this to him even though he told her his innocence which causes her to cry. First time I’ve seen a protagonist just say “no Fuck off.”
All the other healthy males go die in war and you have a far better chance of spreading your seed. The same woman who gives me a white feather will be getting creampied by me after her dumb cannon fodder boyfriend gets blown up by chinese fpv drone.
However, I’m pretty sure America is stocking up on its noncitizen young male population for a good reason. Those guys are destined for the telegram war propaganda gore vid compilations.
I mean on some level you still need boots on the ground to hold a position, but you're right - the landscape is rapidly changing. Also don't quote me on this, but I believe that, by and large, meat sacks are still much cheaper soldiers than our drone counterparts, at least until advancements in technology reduce the costs.
There's a story about a general who got handed a white feather by a 10 yo girl and he smacked her across the face. He was already going to war, he didn't need a reminder.
But long before television or film. Civilians had no idea what war was really like, and it was heavily romanticized. The ugly side only started entering public consciousness when film reels came back from WWII, and then massively when TV footage started coming back from Vietnam.
Are you kidding… they knew exactly how bad ww1 was. The myths of how heroic and romantic it was disappeared after a few months…the white feather bullshit happened later
Are you sure about that? I’m not sure about that. I recall watching a documentary on this last week which said this happened very early, before the draft was instituted. It’s not important enough a distinction to me to go back and look but I can find it if you like. I could easily be wrong.
yeh I was wrong about the white feather bullshit, it started at the beginning and it continued throughout the war. wiki has some based quotes:
"One example was Private Ernest Atkins, who was on leave from the Western Front. He was riding a tram when he was presented with a white feather by a girl sitting behind him. He smacked her across the face with his pay book and said, "Certainly I'll take your feather back to the boys at Passchendaele. I'm in civvies because people think my uniform might be lousy, but if I had it on I wouldn't be half as lousy as you".
the other poster is wrong about civvies not knowing war was shit until ww2. the french were completely fucked from ww1, especially the men, and there were cripples everywhere. that's the main reason they threw in the towel so early in ww2 imo.
I know the double-standards point has been driven into the Earth's core at this point, but imagine if men did something similar to this to women not seeking to marry and become mothers when birthrates are declining.
I'm mean, that's exactly what crazy cat lady jokes are. There's no physical object involved, but the effect is the same, to shame someone for not fulfilling their traditional gender roles.
for the autists out there: during world war 1, women in the uk would give a feather to men who didn't go to war as a way to shame them and force them to go to war anyway (might be the wrong country and the wrong war but anyway). we are talking about doing a classic uno reverse by giving a teddy bear to women who refuse to bear white children. the teddy would evoke motherly feelings in the woman and would shame them into looking for a decent man and settling down.
Whenever I was about to assassinate a target, instead of stabbing them with my hidden blade, I'd touch them with the feather so they melt into nothing. And this would be my Creed as an Assassin
She is handing out dead animal parts probably covered in chicken flu, obviously she has a mental disorder to one have a supply of these things and 2 try to hand them to random people on the street. Call police, she’s probably escaped from a mental health centre and needs help.
Watching Ukrainian women flee the country in droves whilst the men go to die in a hideous war really sums up the modern gender paradigm. Bad shit - that's for men to deal with.
I am sorry Miss, but as a champion of equality and women I must give the feather back as I believe women have the strength and fortitude to defend this country even better than men. In fact I will be more than happy to help you prove this by staying home.

Modern warfare is so fucking dumb idk why even need men in the trenches nowdays? To die from artillery fire or a grenade dropped off a drone?

we'd give them a teddy bear. the implication is obvious. on a large enough scale it would drive birth rates up without a doubt.
