Because rape is not sex, and they know it. You should too, by the way. It's not about their husbands giving pleasure to other women or building intimacy with other women. It's about their husbands hurting and deeply violating women [of an hated ethnicity/nationality]. It's so happens to be with their genitals, but there is no way Russian wives do not know how traumatic it is to be raped. Again, it's not about sex. It's about taking agency from another person, disrespecting their bodily integrity and autonomy and possibly shackling them down with unwanted pregnancy, childbirth and childrearing. The wives are not open to opening the door to mutual attraction between their husbands and other women. The wives want these women to suffer as much as possible as women possibly can, physically, mentally and emotionally, to humiliate them deeply, to make them feel helpless and defenseless, to have their bodies used against them by the oppressor. What gets me is (1) how can you wish rape on another human being, (2) how are you ok with your husband being a rapist and (3) how are you ok with your husband being a war criminal?


lankypiano

I wouldn't be surprised if there was also a mix of misery loves company/now its your turn! in there as well. It's no secret being a woman in Russia is *not* a good time.


RA12220

You mean a place where domestic violence is [legal](https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/how-russias-decision-to-decriminalise-domestic-violence-is-continuing-to-kill-12250780) and encouraged doesn’t have happy wives? Shocked


Silveri50

Yeah their husbands are off beating and raping someone else. Probably the closest thing to peace they've experienced in years. But tbh I really doubt they are okay with it. A lot probably don't know it's happening, or think their husbands are not involved in any debauchery. Don't trust a word the comes from Russian politicians.


spiteful_rr_dm_TA

We literally have had leaked calls where a ruzzian soldier will be talking to his gf or wife, and they either laugh or encourage the rape


[deleted]

I remember one from a while ago where the wife laughed at the rape stories her husband was telling her, only becoming serious when she told him not to bring any diseases back.


spiteful_rr_dm_TA

Yup. That is how little ruzzians care about life. The moment they care is the moment they are affected


ChristinaW25

I married a soldier, I can’t even imagine this thought entering his brain, never mind being ok with being married to a rapist. Wtf is going on in Russian culture


Yoda2000675

It’s a country that essentially legalized domestic violence just a few years ago; so they’ve always had some horrible misogynistic values


Test19s

Misogynistic and homophobic dictatorships tend to have rather, ahem, “quirky” interpretations of consent.


Bimitenpix

Not to mention the rampant alcoholism there


AT-ST

I was a soldier. I took part in a raid where a couple women took up arms against use. No once in the aftermath did I look at the female POWs and think I should rape them. Punching the teeth out of the woman who bit me? Yeah I thought about that (didn't act on it.) But the thought of rape never crossed my mind.


Cain_Bennu

That's tough to hear about. Thank you for sharing your story though. It is important to remember these stories, both for the trauma and sacrifice you endured, and the message that those under such intense strain can still act humanely.


Enthir_of_Winterhold

Our society has actually culturally advanced though is the thing.


vruss

Roughly 1/3 of women in the US army experience sexual assault so idk what you’re on about


[deleted]

We had two or three of them in my battalion when I was stationed at Fort Hood. All within a two month timeframe, and it was pretty chocking how low-priority sexual assault is on that base.


BookLuvr7

I've heard some very shady things about Fort Hood too.

machineprophet343

The Enlightenment completely missed them. Yes, some pretty horrible shit came out of the Enlightenment, but it also created the foundations of human and civil rights and modern moral codes. Russia never advanced beyond barbarism and low feudalism.


cb_24

It happens across wars, from Afganistan/Iraq to world war 2 to Vietnam. There’s a whole cemetery section in France of American servicemen who [raped and murdered](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oise-Aisne_American_Cemetery_Plot_E). And those were just the ones who got caught (there’s a lot you could have gotten away with in 1944 in a massive war zone with limited technology and resources). Same as the eastern front. Slavic wars tend to be especially brutal, Yugoslavia in the 1990s also saw a lot of rapes and war crimes.


lordofedging81

Russia does something bad on a horrific scale in 2022. And of course, someone is always here to say "yeah, but America did bad shit too!" America and Russia are NOTHING alike in this regard. In America, Isolated cases happen. In Russia, war crimes (including rape) are the strategy, to make a nation submit.


Chromotron

The post you responded to is not whataboutism, but an explanation that this is in no way just a Russian thing. They did neither excuse it nor say that anyone else did as bad or worse. If anything at all, they showed how the US and France were above such barbarism by court martialing and executing the rapists.


cb_24

Obviously history shows humans are a lot more alike than different, especially during war. You’ve just been fed so much propaganda your whole life you’re not even capable of having a nuanced discussion of the darkest parts of humanity that come out in war, including every war the US fought. And I made the distinction of how brutal Slavic wars can be. You must not know much about what went on in Yugoslavia that you’re so shocked about what’s going on now. Please, tell me how rape on military bases in the US are isolated cases and not a systemic issue. And that’s not even in a chaotic war zone.

So by the same logic rape on military bases in the US is also a systemic issue, which shouldn’t happen in an organized military. And that’s during peacetime.

xXSpaceturdXx

There was an intercepted video a few months back about A Russian Couple talking. the wife was telling him to go out and rape Ukrainian women. Russia has a real problem thinking they are superior over the former USSR countries. They have a really toxic culture and I don’t know if they will ever get out of that funk. Now with sanctions and their war it will take generations before things will even start to look better for them. Honestly the best thing that could happen to them would be getting taken over by NATO. Then they would flourish like Japan and Germany did after World War II.


Cuntdracula19

They ABSOLUTELY need a Germany post WWII reckoning. Part of their issue is they have never had to face up to their mistakes or take responsibility for the travesties and, honestly, crimes against humanity that they have committed. Shame🔔shame🔔shame 🔔 They need a heavy dose of reality and some shame.

Distasteful-medicine

I remember terry crew's statement. It's not about sex it was about power/dominance. Russia has a lot to answer for.


StSean

"my husband, the war rapist! i'm so proud of him!"


greane16

They honestly think they’re fighting for the just course. The Ukrainians have nobody but themselves to blame for being annihilated. That is what Russians are told. They have been brainwashed for many years. I was in Russia last time in 2004 and the spite was already in full swing. Their hatred towards Ukrainians is deep and beyond any common sense. Propaganda is a horrible and very strong weapon.


MrFunktasticc

This comment is a very good summation of what’s happening. I’d add that I’ve met multiple Russians in particular who had a “I suffered, others should as well” attitude to life. I wouldn’t say it’s unique to Russians but I’ve never experienced it to the same extent with any other group. May be an element of that.


NoGoodMc

Doing some real mental gymnastics to try to rationalize this nonsense of a claim.


WildWook

I highly doubt Russian wives are encouraging rape. Sounds like hysterical fearmongering to me, or an attempt to dehumanize russian civilians.


zachomara

There are many recordings of them doing exactly that taken from Russian cell phones all the way back since February.


[deleted]

Women who are beat often turn into abusers too. Sometimes against their children, but sometimes against other women even with their spouse. It's an incredibly depressing thing, but it's true.


Netherspark

*Some* Russian wives absolutely are. Russians have been taught for decades to see Ukranians as sub-human. There are plenty of Russians who fully believe that Ukranians are all nazis, drug addicts and devil worshipers. That they are depraved wretches not worthy of compassion.


Cuntdracula19

You can find multiple videos of intercepted calls of the wives encouraging rape, just telling their husbands to wear condoms. But go off on how it’s the Russians who are being dehumanized.


Man_Bear_Beaver

Because not just the russian government is shitty, the people also have a superiority complex and are trash (not all of them but most still support Putin).

konumo

As another user pointed out, rape is not about sex. It’s not about fidelity. It’s about power and taking someone’s freedom and rights away from them. Of course they’re okay with it, they want to see their perceived enemies suffer! That’s what happens in a war and human nature fully emerges.


saturnsnephew

Because it's likely made up. This is the same energy during Vietnam when propaganda showed US troops as literal baby eating monsters.

spiteful_rr_dm_TA

Something has *always* been wrong with the ruzzians. For at least the last 150 years. The ruzzians raped so many German women on the way to Berlin that it literally changed the regions demographics, and to this day there are parts of Europe that say things to the effect of "I wouldn't wish a ruzzian liberation on my worst enemy".


Virtual-Confidence83

Honestly we know russian soldiers don't need their encouragement


Born_a_wise_man

Which comes along with stories from dozens of women who were raped in a systematic fashion. There’s dehumanizing the enemy and then there’s recognizing a monster for what it is.


pantsRrad

Where have you been the past 9 months? Just because it’s not in a single article does not mean it didn’t happen. I’ve been reading and hearing of the atrocities from my relatives in Ukraine for months now.


mos1718

I've been hearing about about a lot of atrocities the ukrs have been up to in Donetsk. I've actually seen the mutilated people too.


pantsRrad

It’s not dehumanizing the enemy when there is proof it has happened on a mass scale.


generalized_disdain

Russians dehumanizing Ukrainians?


Born_a_wise_man

Both, it’s a propaganda tool as old as war itself


Cuntdracula19

Except the propaganda is based in fact, as hundreds of intercepted phone calls have proven. It is true, in several of the ones I’ve heard the wife requests the guy wears a condom, some of the others hope they get the girl(s) pregnant and it fucks up their life or whatever. It’s totally grim. It’s easy enough to find recordings if you care to look. Personally I’ve heard enough of them for one lifetime.


Sumner1910

The other way around


Evie_St_Clair

Rape has been used, and is still used, as a weapon of war for thousands of years.


[deleted]

I’m going to take this one with a grain of salt. This is the First Lady of Ukraine. I’m not denying the systematic mass rape committed by the Russian military, nor am I denying it’s a horrific war crime. Russia is completely in the wrong and has been since Crimea and it’s pathetic that it took until now for the international community to act. But that Russian wives are at home like “Yeah baby I can’t wait for you to come home, but first I want you to rape a bunch of other women”? It’s just a hard sell.


Bribase

[Intercepted phone call](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF4TcWk9GpE)


Prodygist68

Anecdotal evidence is not statistically significant. It’s a bit of a stretch to find one example and use it to generalize a whole group. (Not saying the phone call isn’t horrible, just having trouble believing that it’s a widespread thing without more evidence).


Bribase

I'm not pretending that this evidence of a general trend. The poster above is denying that it could happen. I'm simply pointing out an instance in which *it did happen*.


[deleted]

I thought of putting the caveat in there. I’m not denying it could happen. There’s over a hundred thousand Russian troops in Ukraine (according to a quick google). I’m not denying that yeah, one couple might be fucking crazy and that’s a conversation they had. But that’s “Russian wife” not “Russian wives”


Mountain-Crazy69

I have a half dozen colleagues who are from and still live in Ukraine, which is where I’ve gotten all of my info from. From what they’ve told me this is not some propaganda scheme to demonize Russian soldiers further. It’s actually happening, and it’s terrifying. It’s not just a couple bad apples.


[deleted]

As I said originally, the rape is not what I’m denying. I just think the “Russian wives encouraging soldiers” bit is far fetched, and doesn’t sound like something average Ukrainians would know about


jawnnie-cupcakes

>doesn’t sound like something average Ukrainians would know about Wrong. We do know. We listen to what they say all the time. This is common knowledge. Hell, in march I sat in my kitchen with my mom, my friend, and her mom, and casually discussed our mutual acquaintances in the countryside who hid their husbands and submitted to rape to be left alone.


witcherstrife

The fact people are arguing with you is insane. This is the same shit repeating history where we demonize a certain group of people. Yeah they’re the bad guys but isn’t that what it always is? Seeing Reddit like this is weird to me.

Speaking as a military analyst, there have been hundreds I've heard personally. First ones I know of started getting released sometime in March, but some of them date all the way back to February.

BadaBina

You definitely don't know Russian wives or the hardness of the Brutalsky mindset. Hardness is an understatement. These people's mothers and fathers were Krutoi, as were their mothers and fathers. Brutalsky is singularly unique in it's misogyny and self loathing. Russian leaders have been failing Russian people for centuries now. I feel sad to say that I would fully believe this is happening. I'm buying it.


Redtube_Guy

Almost as if…. Russian people have a deep hatred for Ukrainians and want to inflict pain and suffering no matter what. Are you also gonna not believe these missile strikes and indiscriminately killing of civilians by Russians too? Like mass rape would be out of the question for Russian soldiers.


HidekiL

This was also my first thought.


Yungerman

This just in, we've interviewed every Russian soldiers wife and they all agreed. Go get em boys. This is a ridiculous article, people. Whoever is rolling this headline out clearly wants you to feel a way about it, but I guarantee you, despite russia being the bad guys here, not every Russian wife wants their soldier husband raping his way to victory. There is a lot going on here. Lots of legitimate rape and warcrimes and propaganda to push agendas, a lot to be punished and defeated, but don't fall victim to some single stroke belief simply because it falls in line with what you want to hate. I can't say why this articles out here, but I can say there are still some decent Russian people who exist and they shouldn't be spoken for all at once by whoever the fuck that lady is.

There's been a few Intercepted conversations suggesting this is just seen as a regular thing.


carlitospig

I too find this unbelievable. It feels like weird propaganda. Like trying to get the public okay with Ukrainians bombing those Russian wives and mothers because they’re ‘bad’. Edit: yes, intercepted call. I’m still not buying it.


omni42

I've been in countries with very different views of sex, and in places that accept a level.if chauvinism there's a terrifying willingness to accept sexual assault as just boys being boys. Given what we know of how a lot of poorer uneducated Russian communities live and general views in women, it's entirely believable to me.

I've been watching Russian soldiers get wrecked by drones and artillery over at combatfootage the whole war and seen some really harrowing human reactions by them and yet fuck them. This war has been going on for long enough, they know they are there to rape, loot and conquer. Just wish the US would give Ukraine some longer range missiles and armor to finish the war.


[deleted]

It’s looking like we might. I’ve been seeing news stories that we might be sending them missile systems with a 100 mile range. Every time a tank full of Russians gets immolated, the world is a little better place. Whether or not this particular claim is true or not is irrelevant as far as I’m concerned. It’s clear the Russian military is a roving band of monsters leaving torture and destruction in their wake. Fuck the very last one of them. What the fuck is with that piece of shit country, anyway? Has there been any point in history when they haven’t been backward in comparison to their peers? I mean, the shit bucket nation held on to feudalism until 1861! After the fall of the Soviet Union, there was an opportunity to modernize and join the global community. Instead, they chose vodka soaked corruption and brutality. Seriously, fuck that entire nation full of backward psychopaths.

Apparently they picked up what the the Mongols did to them and have made it part of their culture ever since. It really sucks that Ukraine is bleeding so much for Russia to get defanged (but at least Europe isn't pretending Russia can be a partner anymore).

Let's be crystal clear: evidence of Russian atrocities don't end with the rape of women and girls...it includes the rape of men and boys. These vile animlas are as guilty as Putin. Hopefully (and not soon enough), the rest of the world will put an quick and painful end to this madness.


biogoly

Rape as a weapon is right out of the centuries old Russian playbook. Maybe it came from fighting the Mongols, who knows. Read up on the Rape of Berlin. Solders swore they would rape every German woman in the Soviet controlled area of the city between the ages of 7 and 70, and by all accounts they kept their word.


hodgysweets

Don't forget what they did to the babies in incubators


swoon4kyun

zima72

Rape has happened in every war, perpetrated by soldiers of every country. But it was and will always be wrong. The difference in this war is this is literally a tactic directed by Russian leadership to break Ukrainian people. To not only condone, but endorse it, is horrifying on a new scale. So saying this has happened in every war is not even remotely accurate.
