Fatalistically

Women like Mary and Susan, who have needed to deny their lesbianism in order to retain financial support and avoid physical abuse, fear additional calls. "Pamela," an out lesbian whose parents have not been telephoned, explained that she fatalistically waits, knowing her "deeply religious conservative Southern Baptist" parents would react strongly.

Kyiv has also signaled that any counterattacks in Russia are simply part of a war Russia started, and asked, perhaps fatalistically, what more could Russia do to Ukraine?
