Are there any stats/studies regarding the "protection" aspect of masculinity?

What you're asking is pretty broad so you may want to narrow down to something more specific. But here is one study that may help answer your question:

Moral Chivalry - sacrificing a man instead of a women is seen as more moral, and people are more willing to sacrifice a man.

Also consider just the general male disposabilty stats. Men are the overwhelming majority of workplace deaths and injuries, combat deaths and sucides. You could also consider men's lower life expectancy and the little concern over it as part of male disposability/male sacrifice.

These studies show that people in general are more likely to help, and show empathy, for women, than for men. There may be some specifics about the gender of the person who actually sacrifices him/herself buried in there though.

This general topic of research is similar to what u/LacklisterFriend posted. It's related to the empathy gap and in-group / out-group biases among men than women.

What do you mean?

Stats showing that men are more willing to protect others at their own expenses?

Beside the proportion of men in jobs like security, police, firefighting, etc? Are those not already good enough?
