Syria’s war transformed women’s roles through empowerment
www.aljazeera.com
Women in war-ravaged Syria are being thrust into the role of provider in a way few had experienced previously.

Thanks Bashar al Assad for checks notes arresting men and forcing women to provide for their families?

Idk. Strange tone with this one.

Opening up opportunities for women is good, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening? Women are less safe, more vulnerable to abuse, more impoverished, probably face more restrictions, and evidently more burdened than ever.

Something about trying to find a bright side to the war comes across as utterly psychotic. It's the most dystopian possible version of perseverance porn mixed with Liberal girlboss rhetoric.

But maybe this Middle Eastern conflict will be good for women, unlike the last dozen or so...

Not sure where to put this (please make c/MiddleEast). Don't want to put it in c/the_dunk_tank, because I am willing to listen to alternative interpretations. So, main it is.
