Here is a quote from a top article on bbcnews.com concerning the military oppression in Myanmar:

"As of 8 December, 1,318 civilians have been killed during military crackdowns on the pro-democracy movement, including 93 women, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) non-profit human rights organisation."

Instead of focusing on how disproportionately over ten times more males died than females died because of Myanmar's current oppressive regime the BBC wants to focus on the women that died rather than the men despite women being less than one-tenth of the total deaths. This is just another example of the continuing norm of male disposability/expendability in the West. BBC journalists righteously believe in destroying sexist expectations, norms, and stereotypes of women but wrongly refuse to destroy sexist expectations, norms, and stereotypes of men such as a man's life being, in this case ten times, less important than a woman's. I'm sure many or you can recall how the lack of Western media's focus on the massacre of boys and men by Boko Haram was ignored by Western media so Boko Haram kidnapped girls afterwards because they realized that Western media doesn't give a darn about boys and men being massacred but when some girls are kidnapped they go into outrage. This and other examples I have read like this in newspapers such as the New York Times just make me so angry and frustrated. What are your thoughts on this and do any of you have any tips on how I can deal with my frustration that because I happened to be born male my life is inherently less important to society than a woman's life. It's not like I chose to be born male and if I could go back in time and choose my biological sex at conception I would choose to be female. Thanks in advance and happy holidays!
