EU extends protection for "people" fleeing Ukrainian - excludes men

"people" doesn't include men

EU saying the quiet part out loud, huh

E: lmao i just got a reply arguing it's "fighting aged men" not men in general, but it seems to have been deleted. Just so no one else says something so fucking stupid again, are "fighting aged men" not literally the majority of men lol

Yet at the same time the EU wants Ukraine to "combat violence against women". The Council of Europe has a separate page dedicated to that: https://www.coe.int/en/web/kyiv/combating-violence-against-women-in-ukraine-phase-iii-covaw-iii-#{%22194386864%22:[0],%22200055837%22:[5]}

They literally demand special protection of women against violence as a part of Ukraine's integration into the EU: https://enlargement.ec.europa.eu/document/download/17115494-8122-4d10-8a06-2cf275eecde7_en?filename=ukraine-report-2025.pdf (pp. 45-46)

This is all while Ukrainian men are multiple times more likely to become victims of murders and aggravated assault than women: https://ukrstat.gov.ua/druk/publicat/kat_e/2021/2021_GEIndicators-MonitoringRepor_ENG.pdf (pp. 122-124)

And now they openly support discrimination against men by excluding them from protection.

DISGUSTING HYPOCRITES

As never before, now I clearly understand that THE WESTERN MAINSTREAM GENDER EQUALITY RHETORIC AND POLICY IS ONE BIG JOKE.

Except it's not funny.

Where is gender equality in the 'progressive' EU?

Intelligent-Bird-313 · 2026-07-20T14:43:00+00:00

Men aren’t humans; just soldiers in their eyes.

Well, even at a national level the discrimination faced by men seeking refuge or support was already obvious. For instance in Belgium only women or men with family can apply to seek refuge in shelters or apply to get financial/social support. If you are coming as a young man on your own, you re truly on your own, no support will ever be provided.

As a man from Ukraine, I constantly feel like I'm surrounded by enemies.

1) Russia is an obvious enemy. It literally tries to kill me with their rockets and drones.

2) Ukrainian recruitment officers (ТЦК) are enemies, because as a person with a mental disorder I literally don't leave my apartment. I can't be sure they won't take a person with a mental disorder. They take everyone. There were cases when even people with schizophrenia were mobilized, while my disorder is not as severe as schizophrenia (though it makes me definitely unfit for military service). It's very difficult to prove you have a mental disorder. I live like in prison.

3) Trump is an enemy. I feel that the only reasons why he didn't make Ukraine surrender yet are a) he can't (he's not as powerful) b) he knows that many Americans support Ukraine so he's worried about his ratings. But he obviously loves Putin. They have much in common.

4) Ukrainian feminists are enemies. If you think they are non-existant in Ukraine, you are very much wrong. They exist, they are very numerous, aggressive and hostile. They say that the mobilization of men is "the price for male privilege".

5) Ukrainian far-right are my enemies. They are very numerous and aggressive. What they want is essentially to build something like Russia, but with a Ukrainian flag. They hate gays, they hate men who, in their opinion, are not masculine enough, they hate everyone, except themselves. Ideology built on hate. Many of them are fighting in the war, so it becomes literally dangerous to criticize them.

6) Now as we see the EU is also an enemy when it has announced plans to openly discriminate against male refugees. Their "gender equality" talk is one big fake. Disgusting hypocrites.

7) Many MRA's also look like enemies to me. I'm afraid to make posts about Ukraine in MRA subs because, as I see, many MRA's are anti-Ukraine. The say things like "don't support Ukraine if it treats men like this". They don't understand that by saying such things they literally promote Ukrainian men's deaths. Less military support means more deaths of Ukrainian men. Less air-defence means more deaths of Ukrainian civilians, the majority of which are men. Not all of them say such things, many MRAs are fully supportive, but the amount of anti-Ukrainian comments is enough for me to be afraid of posting about Ukraine in these subs. Less air defence for Ukraine = more chances that I will be killed by a Russian drone. Not helpful at all.

OK, the EU are half enemies and half friends. They discriminate against Ukrainian men, but they support Ukraine with military and financial aid. I don't want to sound ungrateful. Their air-defense literally protects me. The same is true about Trump's administration. They sanction Russia's oil and at least sell Ukraine weapons. They are half-hostile, half-friendly.

What I want to say is how you feel as a Ukrainian military age man. It doesn't mean that literally everyone is hostile to you, but it means that the number of hostility to you as a male is so large, that you feel like a cornered animal.

My plans as of today:

To survive this all

Rather a hope than a plan.

Pecuthegreat · 2026-07-20T22:35:21+00:00

Then why don't they just say women and children as usual? Why go through all those loops to pretend it's for everyone?.

Is it like a trick or are they actually aware of the evil they're doing dn trying to hide it?.

apokrif1 · 2026-07-20T17:12:18+00:00

Victims of genderist discrimination can consider applying for asylum.

Katastrofiaines · 2026-07-21T07:18:59+00:00

And so they said the quiet part out loud: Men aren't people.

Multiple EU countries are also preparing to bring back male only draft. For anyone in the EU this should be a severe wake up call: you either start organizing and resisting this now, or you will share the fate of Ukrainean men in the future. The powers that be will use you until there's nothing left of you unless you fight back.

I also hope that Ukrainean men around the EU are able to stay safe and avoid authorities, whatever it takes.

I hope that the EU dictatorship will come to an end soon! It has never benefitted anyone except those working for that criminal organisation.

My heart aches so much for Ukrainian men and all men in wars. Straight up treated as disposable.

Own_Proposal3827 · 2026-07-20T14:59:37+00:00

Well, because that's true. Men do have military obligations. The EU doesn't want to deprive Ukraine of manpower. Whether drafting is right or wrong is another issue entirely.
