i know it's my fault for interacting with western politics in the first place but it's such a massive and extremely annoying mistake on the west's part to keep assuming that eastern european misogyny works the same/is worse than western misogyny like. the culture of america and the west as a whole is way more extremist christian and their version of misogyny is very heavily built on the 50s housewife/"women are incapable of doing anything but raise babies" worldview and they just assume anyone perceived as "less developed" than them must then have an even worse case of misogyny automatically even though the culture of gender in the eastern bloc comes from the world wars & soviet union culture with the former bringing the necessity of working women (due to lack of male work force) and the latter just. inherently not being a misogynist culture like people straight up don't know that the soviet union was actively pro equality like being the first to legalise abortion in 1920 and always pushing for women in all fields including STEM and politics. like obviously there was still misogyny, it wasn't some sort of utopia/a haven of women's rights but the eastern bloc's misogyny is founded on THAT and not the same christian capitalist "man go work big job woman have 100000 babies" thing that the west and especially the US is built on, like this is from personal experience now but I've literally never heard a single negative comment about women in politics and our president is literally a woman without anyone melting down about it like americans did when a woman decided to run for president. so like. TLDR stop assuming bigotry has developed in the same way all over the world and that every country you think of as poorer than yours must then be inherently worse and more bigoted in every way
#i could make a whole other post on how western culture resulted in the extreme reactionary homophobia and#dive back into extremist christianity here but that entire topic makes me very very sad and it's also#way too complicated so i won't. but man the misogyny thing is really straight forward like i#donnnt get why everyone always assumes women are like kept in cages and not allowed to go to uni here#like even we have more women in stem than america and our rates are relatively low compared to the rest of EEU#wrafs#eastern europe#feminism#idk what to tag. enjoy#sorry this makes no sense i wrote it at like 4am

Rita Ellis: A savage murder
Rita worked in the kitchens of Princess Mary’s Royal Air Force Hospital Halton, a treatment centre for flyers and the first hospital in the world to make regular use of penicillin. The 19-year-had joined up earlier the same year, completing her basic training in Lincolnshire before her transfer to Buckinghamshire. Friends described her as “shy” and “a gentle soul”. When Wing Commander Roy Watson and his wife asked her to babysit on the evening of November 11, she agreed.
At 7.25pm that night, RAF apprentice Steve Tank and his nurse girlfriend Liz left Rita at the front of the WRAF block at Halton, where Wing Commander Watson had arranged to collect her.
The camp employed more than 2,500 people, many of whom were attending one of two on-base social occasions taking place that night – a disco and a bingo game, to which local civilians were also invited.
When the Wing Commander arrived at 7.40pm, Rita was not where they agreed to meet. Unable to enter the women-only block, he returned home and fetched his wife. She went in to find Rita, but Rita was not there. Unbeknownst to them at that time, Rita had already left in another car – and was perhaps already dead.
Investigations later revealed that another car had arrived shortly before the Wing Commander’s white sedan, pulling up alongside Rita. She had climbed in and, having never met Wing Commander Watson before, she seemingly accepted that the man driving it was her superior officer. The car then left the base with Rita inside – her body was discovered by a man walking his dog the following morning, in nearby Rowborough Copse on the western edge of the camp.
Young Rita had been sexually assaulted and strangled to death with her own underwear. The case was taken up by the newly created Scotland Yard, and one man was questioned.
But despite recovering DNA evidence of the killer’s identity from the crime scene, it was never matched to a living suspect.
At the inquest into her death, the coroner opined that the killer would likely strike again. He may have done so, as the following month two more local teenagers were attacked by a man in similar circumstances.
Thames Valley Police still wishes to hear from members of the public with any information or suspicions, and has set up a dedicated email inbox at [email protected]
