enemy ears

We’re all used to propaganda images encouraging young men to go fight for their nation, it’s more unusual to see it directed at women, urging them to stop talking.

The images now look quite funny, but they carry a seriously sexist bias. In fact, it’s understandable that the governement would try to educate people that what they say could be heard, but why only adress women? Don’t soldiers also have fathers and brothers that could talk?
