Instagram / @lesia_nikituk Instagram Lesia Nikityuk Recently, the famous TV presenter Lesya Nikityuk posted a provocative post on her Instagram. In it, she urged Ukrainian women not to forget that they are women. They need to look good despite the war. The full text of the message reads as follows:

"Girls!" I see how, during the war, you and I have faded a little, how to say it correctly, so as not to offend ourselves and you. We have no right to do that. I know what time is. But the fear passed, we raised our heads high. And if we lifted it, then it should look luxurious!



Instagram / @lesia_nikituk Our men, our defenders need to see us beautiful. In order for them to protect us even better, we must raise their morale, and that of men. We want to quickly defeat the enemy and return home. So I suggest a flash mob. We put up our beautiful photos under the hashtag #beauty for APU.

What's wrong with Lesya Nikityuk's post At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing special about this post. War is war, but you really need to take care of yourself. At the very least, it makes the woman feel better. However, Instagram Lesi Nikityuk exploded from hater comments, and the reasons for this, of course, there.



The war has changed everyone’s life. Someone took the house, and someone had to lose family and friends. Under conditions of total stress, you do not think about what lipstick to put on your lips or what hairstyle to do today. The self-preservation mode is activated. The main task is survive.

Nikityuk believes that Ukrainians have already recovered from fear. Now is the time to take care of your appearance. Women have no right to look bad, even if there is a war in the country. But is that really true? I'm convinced that makeup, manicure and beautiful hairstyle Every woman's personal choice. Nobody owes anyone anything. If a girl does not want to put makeup on her face, this is normal.



One of the arguments of the TV star is that the appearance of the Ukrainian cheer soldiers on the front. Now let's imagine the situation. The fighter has already been on the front line for a day. It is hard to imagine what he has to worry about. He has not been in the shower for a long time, and one can only dream of a comfortable sleep in a warm bed.

The fighter defends his homeland and hardly thinks about scrolling Instagram in search of beauties with a flawless face. It is very naive to think that such photos will somehow help the military solve their problems and return home faster.

The Ukrainian public organization “March of Zhinok” to pieces the publication of Nikityuk. According to its participants, the appeal of women to be beautiful for the military is comparable to the humiliation of their dignity.



First, it can lead to increased harassment during war. And this is not about fighters, but about other men who are not friends with their heads and do not take into account the opinions of women. Second, Lesie's post echoes a worn-out narrative: a woman is just an ornament. However, modern Ukrainian society has long been trying to get away from this stupid idea.

In addition, Nikita completely ignores the fact that A large number of women are involved in the war. They are fighting on the front lines, working in military hospitals, volunteering and so on. One of the Ukrainian defenders reacted to the flash mob Lesia Nikityuk. She posted a very telling photo and shared her point of view.



Instagram / @byndas In a post, Zoryana Bindas writes: "If you want to feel beautiful, paint your lips, wear heels, dresses and get a manicure, that's great." But to call it heroic and to think that it will better protect the country is savagery. We all have the right to unwashed head and even bitten nails. Because we are at war, and Russia is killing Ukrainians every day.

Tell me, what do you think about that? Do you support the position of Lesya Nikityuk?
