Last spring I cleaned my rifle alone for the first time. Fake nails. Fresh lashes. Hair cut and dyed. Sitting there with a weapon field stripped in front of me, hands covered in oil, focused on getting every step right. I remember thinking how funny it is that some people, usually men, look at women like me and decide we can’t possibly be soldiers or medics. I tend to think of it as an admission that someone needs everything comfortable to be a soldier….but women, we adapt. Having nails doesn’t cancel out discipline. Having lashes doesn’t erase muscle memory. Taking pride in how you look doesn’t replace the ability to learn, adapt, and fight. Women have been quietly proving people wrong for generations. And still, someone sees long nails and thinks: she can’t. What people underestimate is not our strength. It’s our adaptability. Most women have spent their entire lives operating in systems that were not originally designed around them. We adjust. We modify. We learn different techniques. We build strength differently. We problem solve differently. We endure differently. In that video, I’m still learning. I’m testing my grip. I’m building confidence. I used to think long but blunt nails might stop me from shooting properly, from cleaning my weapon, from wearing gloves, from packing a wound fast enough. They didn’t. If something feels like a “hindrance,” it usually just means you haven’t adapted yet. I am a woman. I have the body of a woman. Training, carrying weight, treating casualties, managing chaos, leading, learning, fighting….and in this war, my first war, I’ve done it all with nails and lashes. Femininity is not fragility. Presentation is not weakness. Looking like this does not mean I cannot do that. This isn’t about attacking anyone. It’s about expanding what strength looks like. It’s about young girls seeing a woman with lashes and a rifle and thinking, yes, that’s us. It’s about understanding that capability doesn’t come in one uniform, one haircut, one body type. Women everywhere are stronger than history ever gave them credit for. We don’t need to become less of who we are to stand beside you. We are already here. We are already capable. We are not going anywhere…and neither are my nails 😉 Signed, A #Canadian woman fighting for #Ukraine 🇨🇦🇺🇦
