this piece is trying to say they unfairly or unjustly ignored the women, but then refutes itself by saying communism does that to everyone it uses up and discards.
they were actually treated equally, communism does this to everyone. nothing to complain about. there are plenty more groups of soviet men discarded that no one has ever heard about, that have never gotten one inch of press.

Basically, you are correct, but it’s a fact they refused to recognize their sacrifice for the war like they did for the men.
However, they still needed the men for their expansion across Eastern Europe, but the women were expendable and unneeded.
