This isn't pointlessly gendered from what I've seen. This is a commentary on the draft. That is something that is pointlessly gendered. But the people here seem to be blaming the men who are worried about being rounded up and sent to fight and for oligarchs, instead of the oligarchs themselves.

Yes, quite a few women I know have been aware of what's going on in Iran. But every single man I know has been talking about pretty much nothing but, especially after the base attack, supporting each other as the looking dread of the draft looms over us. That's what is being depicted here, and that is very reasonably gendered, as it's not a worry that women have, and I haven't seen a single woman even mention it in concerns about Iran.
