  • No.

    Don’t try to bring up biology as some sort of excuse for this behavior when our closest relatives are matriarchal, and our ancestors have been cooperative breeding since before we were even anatomically modern human. Not to mention we posses the ability to rise above our base instincts and apply thought and reason to our actions. What you witnessed was not a biological predetermined truth, it was a social construct.

    Don’t “suck up” discrimination, stop this ‘man up’ attitude.

    It’s also pretty fucked up to infantilise women like that.



  • Why are we lumping women and children together?

    As a result of the more than 100-day conflict, UN Women added, at least 3,000 women may have become widows and heads of households and at least 10,000 children may have lost their fathers.

    So how many men died to create so many widows and fatherless children?

    In a report released Friday, the agency pointed to gender inequality and the burden on women fleeing the fighting with children and being displaced again and again. Of the territory’s 2.3 million population, it said, 1.9 million are displaced and “close to one million are women and girls” seeking shelter and safety.

    So close to 1 million are men and boys?

    UN Women’s executive director, Sima Bahous, said this is “a cruel inversion” of fighting during the 15 years before the Hamas attack on Oct. 7. Previously, she said, 67% of all civilians killed in Gaza and the West Bank were men and less then 14% were women.

    Ah yes, much less cruel for men to die.
