    Being a guerrilla woman is tough. My friend’s mom told us stories about when she used to be a fighter. Her and her husband joined the Communist guerillas in Central America and were living in the jungle for a few years. Decades later she still has health issues from the contaminated water they were drinking most of the time. What’s worse is she told us how women were treated like objects in the guerilla army. Didn’t matter if you were married, if the commander or officers wanted you that night, it was an order, didn’t matter what you or your husband thought of it, they were told it was their duty to let it happen

    I take great pride in knowing my great grandmother was one.

    Part of the easter uprising against the British in Ireland.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumann_na_mBan

    Do not underestimate the ferocity of a woman in times of war. (Or ever)

    On the day of the Rising, Cumann na mBan members, including Winifred Carney, who arrived armed with both a Webley revolver and a typewriter, entered the General Post Office on O’Connell Street in Dublin with their male counterparts. By nightfall, women insurgents were established in all the major rebel strongholds throughout the city except Boland’s Mill and the South Dublin Union held by Éamon de Valera and Eamonn Ceannt.

    Can confirm, my partner is a psychological woman.

    …by which I mean that she has a master’s degree in psychology, not that she’s combative 😄

    I wonder what nuclear women decay into, also does their gender radiation change the gender of people around them?

      Even after they decay a few times, they’re still nuclear women. They can also emit alpha women, which are fairly small but still nuclear women, betas, which are not fully women, and gammas, which are also not women, but eventually interact with other nuclear women.
