Gender Lenses
Gender is not a separate “topic” in Disinfolklore — it is a structural lens through which the entire framework operates. The author states explicitly: “We can’t understand wholly what Russia is up to unless we filter its nonsense through our own evolving lenses of gender.” Misogyny is named as one of the FOUR core signatures of Ruschist Disinfolklore’s Mana (alongside Coercive Control, reversing the post-WWII settlement, and stealth genocide).
This section presents the gender lens as a cross-cutting analytical instrument that enhances detection and adjudication across all twelve Tools. Russia feminises Ukraine — treating it as a body to be dominated — just as the Axis of Misogyny feminises half of humanity. Women are both primary targets and, in Ukraine’s case, primary agents of resistance.
