While circumcision is an perfect example of male disposability effecting male children https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/i221lb/it_seems_that_male_children_are_also_treated/, there are also other examples of male disposability effecting male children too.
Like an example is that boys are more likely to get in trouble at schools than girls are even if the girl is misbehaving more than the boy is. Also, I heard that a study found that female teachers are likely to grade students tests lower when they knew the test taker was a boy.
And also, in movies and in TV shows and in other forms of fiction, male children are much more likely to be shown getting hurt or killed than female children are.
That really makes me mad since male children are just as vulnerable as female children are, and they deserve the same protection and respect that they get.

Aren't male children also more prone to being on the receiving end of physical violence?

Depends where you’re from
In many Eastern cultures absolutely not, having a daughter is never the desired option for many
Western culture arguably yes, the teacher grading bias if remember right spans across most of a child’s school life but being realistic, it isn’t super super significant, the bias can only go so far
It’s probably down to gender roles ect, boys expected to act a bit more rough, mess around more, struggle more in work (e.g gender differences on types of education and how some argue it’s geared towards girls). Teachers unintentionally set a sort of bias, due to societal norms, leading to the potential mistreatment (crack down harder on boys vs girls)
Not sure quite how strong that is as a case for male disposability but eh
