"1 in 4 homeless are women"

men are seen as disposable :/

actually, according to demographic analysis of the names of the killed, thеre's 1.5x mоre childrеn, than adult wоmen, and 2x adult mеn, than adult womеn, killed in Gаza. as Washington Institute says, "Whether through passive omission, active manipulation, or both, the Gаza Heаlth Ministrу’s media reports methodology significantly understates the number of mеn killed..."

Women are the only group of people treated this way.

"Women and children" when it suits women. "Women and men", also when it suits women.

Is it disconcerting to anyone else that society seems so ok with, if not even outright uncaring towards, men's well being? But I only ever really hear things about women's problems like equal education and job employment, which is definitely important and serious, but like, dude? This is almost (if not) outright blatant discrimination

Ah yes, the only two genders to exist according to the conservatives: "women and children" and "others".

A young woman's death is seen as more tragic than a lot of things.

To play devils advocate, women and children are more vulnerable than men on average.

However, you can’t make the argument that women are just as equal and capable as men and then say that women need to be protected more.

I generally hate this argument as it highlights very well the lack of empathy towards men. However in this particular case I could play devil's advocate and say there is a reason for the division (again, in this case in specific).

The reason is that Israel keeps claiming they only target combatants and minimize civilian casualties. Obviously, not every adult man in Palestine is a Hamas combatant. Most are not. However, nothing can stop Israel claiming the ones they killed were, as we simply don't have a way of knowing within the large numbers.

However, Hamas combatants are not women or children so when you say "these many victims are women and children" there's no way to weasel out of the fact that they're killing civilians indiscriminately.

That being said, this is me playing devil's advocate as anyone here knows this narrative is not exclusive to Hamas and we see the "women and children" card being played even in contexts like accidents, and no doubt here that is playing a part as well as it always does. Just saying not everyone reporting it that way might be doing it for the usual reason (men's lives don't matter) but rather to shed a light on civilian casualties.
