It's fine if the men die though
Yeah I'm so sick of the "women and children" thing. It's so blatantly misogynistic and helps construct the idea that every man in a warzone can be considered a combatant
Misogynistic? Don't your mean misandrist?
the misogyny is that this language groups women together with children as less capable, weaker, defenseless but for the actions of men
The fact that people like you cry misogyny regardless of which gender is actually suffering is misandrist. Don’t ever let yourself think you’re actually egalitarian. That’s a lie.
Though misandry and mysogny often occur together and mirror each other. So it's valid to cry about both when someone talks about "woman and children" are grouped together as especially vulnerable groups that need additional protection.
Plenty of people correctly point that out, but never actually object to any of the misandry. Surprise, surprise.
While also forgetting that women and children are often used in combat.
So don't forget that Hamas' military wing is about 30K, in a population of 2.4 millions, so let's say half are children, so that's 1.2M left, and let's say the other half are women, 600K is roughly the male population of Gaza. So it appears that 1/20 male are associated with Hamas. 5%.
And by killing and destroying so many lives and homes, and futures, Israel is well underway to groom another generation of broken human beings who are more likely to get radicalized.
