We're still dealing with the old crap regarding women writing about WWII. I keep reading that my friends are receiving hostile, sexist and angry comments. It's pathetic. Women writers are tackling new subjects with aplomb and revisiting old subjects with fresh ideas. Some upcoming shows on WW2TV - ThreadSky

100% disgusting.

Well said, Paul. Onwards!

My niece, long ago, to my mom: "Gramma, Grampa fought in the war!" My mom: "So did I" - in the vast army of women in Britain working for the War Office, throughout & beyond the Blitz, handling information, bureaucracy, organization &communication. Largely cut out of the historical picture.

Appalling, many fantastic women historians, covering WW2 these sexiest comments make me so angry

And a brief plug here for a local (to me) writer - Lucy Caldwell - tacking a much neglected subject: the Blitz ... in Belfast.

johncraigwhite.bsky.social•25 days ago

Caldwell's book is called These Days btw.

Do you have contact details for her please?

johncraigwhite.bsky.social•25 days ago

Afraid not. Just whatever is online.

Block, turn off PM. People that sent hate behind the screen, or in real life, aren't worth anyone's time.

Your channel and WHW have introduced, both directly and indirectly, to me many brilliant women writing and talking about WWII and numerous other subjects. I look forward to being introduced to many more.

The small-minded individuals who think a person's gender makes any difference about how successful they should be in their chosen field (as a historian, etc.) annoy me. 🤨🤬

Some good-looking subjects there, BTW. 👌

Usually I'd say that giving attention to this stupidity makes it grow.

But in this case some great books on WW2 by women:

And my favorite out of all of them is this one, sadly not in English about Dutch Police and to what extent resistance was a thing there. My interpretation is that it gives a similar impression in attitudes as Browning's 'Ordinary men', which I did not expect.

Why do assholes like this think that a penis is required to be an effective historian?

I'm really starting to think these morons weren't beaten hard enough as adolescents because SOMEONE allowed them to reach middle age without suffering consequences for their ignorant bullshit.

colbosch.bsky.social•25 days ago

I am against child abuse.

Except for these assholes. I'm going to go back in time with a Glock just to pistol-whip them.

one0nine.bsky.social•25 days ago

See, that's just inefficient, and you could damage the slide or feed mechanism... plus you could accidently end them, which is not the point. We want them to learn from their mistakes.

May I suggest repeated applications of The Swirly instead?

colbosch.bsky.social•25 days ago

*nods* Your feedback is understood and appreciated. But I just want to pistolwhip these turds.

navalairhistory.com•25 days ago

I don’t see the problem. The net result is both a pistolwhipped scumbag and a broken gun. That’s a win-win

ianagp.bsky.social•25 days ago

If you use a hand cannon then it won't be broken after...

colbosch.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh yeah, if I have a time machine and a Glock, the magazine will be long empty by the time I get to them. I've got a List.

one0nine.bsky.social•25 days ago

Me reading through all these violent responses:

"Damn, I'm glad y'all aren't here in the US because you'd be out here blastin' 24/7" 🤣
