    it is bleak and accurate. it isn’t a reflection of how i feel about men or that i think it is good we see them as disposable but… society shows they are.

      That’s wrong. Every single adult human represents a giant investment of time and resources. People take time to grow up and learn and take up an education. Even babies cost a great effort to produce.

      You cannot discard a large amount of people without causing a large amount of damage to society. You seem to have a deep schism with reality.

        i literally don’t know what you are responding to because it seems like you’re addressing something completely different.

        men are disposable, meaning their lives are not as valuable??? i mean… men in the US have to sign up with the military at age 18. cause fuck ‘em, let them die.

          That doesn’t mean you are disposable. A draft is possible in most countries in time of need and some even removed gender restrictions. But the US hasn’t fought a defensive war at home in a long time, so I get your resentment. But this does not mean you are worthless in a vacuum. that’s an insane generalization.

                …that is far from the only example of men being disposable lol. idk why you are so weirdly adamant this country doesn’t treat men like they are disposable when it does, objectively. men are always expected to sacrifice themselves.

                    did you mean “how so?,” because i can point to centuries of data where men were head of household and patriarchal. do you know the phrase “women and children first?” perfect example of men being seen as sacrificial when expectations are high.

        Biologically, men are disposable. Just by the mechanics of reproduction, a large loss of women is much more devastating to population stability than a large loss of men. I can spell it out, but it should be obvious.

          No they are not. Raising a child is more work than inseminating a woman. A child requires years of resources to grow and thrive.

          Your world view is not just bleak, but also wrong. Humans aren’t born as fully fledged beings. The gender ratio is not an accident of nature.
