I've seen some of the work that Kurdish activist Dilar Dirik has done, and have watched commander after commander (and soldier) from the YPJ extol the values of women's liberation, but I'm curious about another side of the equation. How seriously do the men of the YPG and the LoR treat women's issues? Do men correct or confront other men for inappropriate behavior in relation to women? What types of discussions are had about the unique issues women face in society?
Also, what are the women of Rojava doing now that is the most different from the days before the revolution?
