Feminine Patriotism

A Woman as the Guardian of Morality in the Time of War

23.08.2023

I want to start with the fact that when we first started discussing this topic and I became interested in female patriotism and how it differs from male patriotism, I was surprised that the word "patriot" has a feminitive. And this is not a Newspeak unlike "redaktorka" and not even a Soviet legacy, where for every profession name there was a feminitive analog. The word "patriotka" (feminine for patriot in Russian language) dates back to the 19th century.

Before we talk about feminine qualities in different times - peaceful and unpeaceful - we need to answer the essential question: What is a human being? If we understand a human being as a virtual image (and now we understand him exactly as an image, as a certain sign that does not refer to anything in reality, and we remember what such signs are called in French philosophy) then we can have any image of ourselves.

Beyond the Line: The Meaning of Female Patriotism in the Recent Era

At our Philosophical Sobor meetings we have discussed the philosophy of the Russian idea, historiosophy, problems of modern Russian ideology and philosophy. Today we are discussing female patriotism. As a matter of fact, this topic fits into the general concept of the Philosophical Sobor and the Great Russian Rectification of Names. The concept of "woman" and woman as a person are widely debated these days. These controversies concern both the social role of women and the female philosophy. It is necessary to begin the work of rectifying the way women are perceived and of debunking some stereotypes about women in the Tradition and outside of it.
