Obviously (by your other statements) you have neither a firm grasp of reality, or a factual viewpoint.
...but haters gonna hate, and the U.S. Military (from which I am medically retired) protects your right to hate us.
No thanks necessary.
Thanks. Saved me from having to respond to the rubbish.
Women tend to think they are gifted or entitled when men protect and save them. It is only logical that men protect women because they have wombs for reproduction. In the history of our species it only takes a few men and many more women to create a tribe or a nation.

No, for a human being is a human being is a human being - regardless of gender, age, race, orientation, identity, political beliefs, and any other variation you can think of - and probably 10x more that you can't.
I only make an exception for behavior. If the person's behaving shabby or cruelly toward others, then it's probably not so tragic if they die - depending on the severity of the badness of their behavior.
Our culture thinks women are more valuable. Men are 80% of suicides, over 90% of work place deaths, there are almost no shelters for abused men, men are sent to die in wars. If some of those statistics were reversed, it would be a crisis, but no one cares since its men.
Just watch commercials. If there are children in the ad, its mostly little girls. Men are often portrayed as stupid or evil.
Colleges now have more female student than male, and yet the women more often benefit from programs to help them succeed. The work place and schools are increasingly hostile to men. A female can destroy a male, just on the basis of an accusation.
None of this is fair, which is why some men are removing themselves from society in general, or even leaving the country.
I've never been one for 'Women First' slogan. My approach is - toss a coin if you canny decide.
Mind you, I gave the same answer to the utilitarian trolley problem. Unless, you're willing to give me more data, I'm gonna say 'toss the coin' and let the one poor bugger have a chance.
For all of human history we have had a "we must always defend and protect the women!" attitude and philosophy.. Which makes sense as they have been the ones ton give life, but clearly things are far different today, with over 7 billion humans we most certainly aren't close to going extinct. According to Matthew White’s estimate on the page Worldwide Statistics of Casualties, Massacres, Disasters and Atrocities., a total of about 123 million men died in all wars of the 20th Century. Hypothetically speaking, say the exact same number of women just dropped dead tomorrow as all the number of men who have died in war in the 20th century, while obviously it would be extremely sad and tragic. do you think 123 million women instantly dropping dead would be as inherently worse than the same number of men instantly dropping dead?
I always thought it was obnoxious, similar to those "BABY ON BOARD!" stickers people put on their back windows. So a 50 year old male accountant is OK with dying in a terrible crash? Or when the news discusses the death toll in natural disasters. "28 people died, including 15 women and children." Like the 13 male victims are just an an afterthought and male deaths don't matter. (I'm a woman BTW).
Yeah, this is one thing that really bothers me as well. If some disaster happens while I certainly understand pointing out how many children died, in this era of women being equal with men and are both supposedly both equally important, why make it an especially big deal because "x number of women" died? If anything, doesn't that just go against what women and feminists say about how women aren't so "weak and defenseless"? If they aren't then surely women dying shouldn't be viewed as something especially unique as when men do.

non-male world, I'm sure many men reading this feel the same.
