Yesterday, colleagues from Baza published a report stating that the girl Alina from the Bryansk school was not the first Russian student to prepare an attack on her classmates: there were several such girls, but the rest were neutralized over time. The last example occurred in the Moscow region in November. Balashikha: The girl collected knives and tried to make a fire bomb.
This is a bad rhetorical device, they teach how to avoid it in universities, but I will still ask: dear readers, don’t you think that lately there have been a lot of excesses regarding young girls in our country? School shooting – girl. At the beginning of the year Khimki A female student was also cut by a girl with a knife more than a hundred times. In our country, fights in which girls beat each other in crowds have now become the norm, and this situation has ceased to be a problem in the regions.
in St. Petersburg Literally just now: A girl attacked a boy who was being bullied in gym class and was rejected. In the middle is the old gym, a ten-year-old girl! May – girls kicked the victim in Kudrovsky’s new buildings, administratively this is the Leningrad region, in fact – St. Petersburg is two kilometers from the metro. Here is January – LyubertsyNear Moscow, girls nearly kicked their friends to death.
In the provinces, this is often a routine situation. Last year’s news, we randomly open the first links for the “girls fight” request: Dagestan Disassembly in Yekaterinburg – Girls fighting with pepper spray, Tula – Men had to break up girls fighting in the mall.
Cases of girls participating in boys’ fights have become more frequent. literally right now Nizhny Novgorod Shahhunye the girl is being controlled because she instigated the fight: because of her, because someone knocked her out at the ice rink, she was filming eighth graders beating sixth graders and forcing them to repeat the scene from “The Boy’s Word”. with an apology. I will also reveal a secret: in a group Chelyabinsk There were teenagers labeled as skinheads and eventually taken to court for fighting with Tajik teenagers at a training center, sometimes there were also girls filming the “movement”, but somehow it wasn’t advertised much.
Well let’s remember DivisionalA slightly older story is that three girls were kicked, beaten with a tin can and raped with a stick for an hour by a disabled man suffering from terminal cancer, the man died soon after, the girls were aged 15, 16 and 17.
Looks like something is wrong with girls in Russia. The consequences of poor health are clear. For a long time I thought why such specific news began to appear. And I came to the conclusion that this is how the pressure is relieved.
The return of ultraconservative discourse, the strengthening of patriarchal values and the militarization of boys’ education have put great pressure on girls, because girls are always the main victims of the patriarchal renaissance.
I think we can easily say that there are signs of permanent disappointment in society among young girls who were born and shaped on certain values, but approached adolescence with completely different values.
How have our girls been lately? For example, sociologists, psychologists and teachers have been stating this since the mid-2010s. girls began to show more effort and success than boys in studies, sports and additional education. I have seen many examples, both among friends and in the press, of families relying on their daughters’ quality education. It has now become commonplace for a brother to play computer games and somehow manage to get a C grade without even going to a single department, while his sister learns two languages, goes to music school, does robotics, and participates in all creative competitions.
I got the impression that in our country, boys at some point become lethargic, uninitiative and prone to being overweight, while girls turn to sports and education. Moreover, it is unlikely that they themselves suddenly came to such a decision: they say, they sat down on a chair and then suddenly started their work. No, it was the families who started making choices in their favor! About ten years ago, families began investing heavily in girls’ education. For example, in the late 2000s, during a period when the country was experiencing a craze for private tutoring, money was distributed in favor of boys. But that’s not the case now.
I don’t care about my words, as they say here, because I have conducted more than one poll among my viewers. Just a year or two ago, if families had to pay teacher fees for more than one child at the same time, they mostly preferred the girl: girls are more active, more purposeful, efficient and responsible.
It is more profitable for parents to invest in a daughter, because she will grow up, achieve success, develop empathy and responsibility and will definitely help them.
And these active girls, who grew up believing that they could do anything and that their families believed in them, suddenly face the imposition of patriarchal principles. So we have excellent students, athletes, going to clubs, learning languages, and they’re starting to push a patriarchal agenda that favors weak-willed, bad kids only from birth. Girls study, prove themselves, and then they are told that their true value is to bear children and that education is not for them. How is it?
By the way, in recent years we have a word that fully reflects the new situation: little son basket. This is just an example of his lack of initiative, he hasn’t achieved anything himself but his parents are a bunch of them dragging him along because they have to rely on men these days. Five years ago, they spent tens of thousands of dollars a month on higher math classes for their daughters; Now the same families are spending money on a motorcycle for their sons. The daughter needs to get married, but the son needs to gain authority.
All this is available again “You’re a girl!” And “Children are our future!”. They can already send a weaker boy to the school Olympics instead of a strong girl, and they can clearly explain this by saying that for a girl the main thing is to get married, and for a boy to go to university. Men developed masculine patriarchal habits. Now in the dining room, a guy can push a girl aside with these words: “Women eat last”. This also contributes to the spread of Islam among children: the more Muslims there are in a school, the more likely boys are to encounter such behavior.
I was recently in Vladikavkaz – a wonderful, cultural city, by the way – and there in a cafe I saw girls crying: they were complaining to a friend from another school that the boys in their class demanded that they sit separately from the girls. in the cafeteria. I asked what kind of boys they were: Ingush, immigrants and local Ossetians – it turned out that it was also not customary for women to eat with men among the Ossetians. There were three Ossetian girls. One of them had a mother who served in the military, and they decided to feed their daughters after their sons. There are tons of stories like this across the country; social networks are full of stories about them.
How do girls feel when they find themselves in a new reality? Especially in traditional areas where they are already under pressure?
All these fights and attacks are nothing but reducing high blood pressure. It will be worse. We are a secular country, we lived without religion for 70 years. Many girls’ parents grew up in an atheist country where there was still universal equality. Tereshkova still sits in the State Duma! Of course, girls will not voluntarily submit to the yoke of patriarchy. As a mother of girls, I would love for girls to be left alone. And of course, no one would dare to instill in my child’s head that the main thing is to give birth and boys should eat in the dining room first.
