"Women and children in the lifeboats first."

Yet, men are all evil and we've never taken any licks for anyone else...

I read Red Famine as well. It's a deeply haunting book about one of the worst human atrocities. It's interesting because the Soviets prided themselves on advancing womens roles compared to the USA. People often cite the mass rapes committed by Red Army, while former veterans admit the Women participants encouraged the men to rape.

I'm not sure it's the best example. The situation surely stems from the fact that men were the ones to own stuff mostly. Old women that had their own farm were first in line to get chopped too.

worth mentioning that as is the case today in Russia, the ethnic minorities were often sent to the slaughter before Russians, and Ukraine (as well as Belarus) has long been treated as a meat shield for Moscow, which of course means that men from these ethnic minorities were sent to die by the red army, and that the men from the places that acted as a buffer were considered the ultimate acceptable sacrifice in many regards. It is an example of how colonialism/imperialism and sexism (and to some extent class as these territories were typically poorer) intersect in regards to misandry

The book and the author are not good sources for Soviet history
