Feminists say that “the future is female” but when the war come, the future is male, whether they like it or not.

Ukraine has banned all male citizens, aged 18 to 60, from leaving the country.

They have to stay behind as soldiers and fight the Russian invasion. But women are allowed to flee to safety.

But can’t women do everything men can do, even better?!

That is what we have been hearing from feminists over the last two hundred years. Today we see them silent.

Feminists say that “the future is female,” but when the war comes, the future is male, whether they like it or not.

Have you heard any feminists raging and calling this Ukranian decision misogyny?

No. Some have even outright admitted that their feminism doesn’t extend to war times. In war, feminist ideologies melt away, and we see the wisdom of Islam.

The Quran commands men to be leaders. They are commanded to protect and spend on women. They don’t have the luxury of choice. Allah, the creator of both, says that men have a degree of authority over women.

Men are the caretakers of women, as men have been provisioned by Allah over women and tasked with supporting them financially. Quran (4:34)
