本文通过考察斯里兰卡和北爱尔兰民族主义军事组织中女性战斗人员的例子，对女性必然比男性更加和平的观点提出了挑战。与制度化的国家或亲国家民族主义相比，反国家的“解放”民族主义往往为妇女作为战斗人员参与提供了更多的空间（在意识形态和实践上），这可以从斯里兰卡猛虎组织和北爱尔兰爱尔兰共和军与北爱尔兰忠诚准军事组织的案例中看出。然而，女性战斗人员的角色是模糊的，表明了不同社会安全概念之间的紧张关系，其中女性战斗人员既与国家造成的社会不安全作斗争，又加剧了其民族群体内部的社会不安全。
This article challenges the idea that women are necessarily more peaceful than men by looking at examples of female combatants in ethno-nationalist military organizations in Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland. Anti-state, ‘liberatory’ nationalisms often provide more space (ideologically and practically) for women to participate as combatants than do institutionalized state or pro-state nationalisms, and this can be seen in the cases of the LTTE in Sri Lanka and the IRA in Northern Ireland when contrasted with loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland. However, the role of the female combatant is ambiguous and indicates a tension between different conceptualizations of societal security, where female combatants both fight against societal insecurity posed by the state and contribute to internal societal insecurity within their ethno-national groups.
