The assumption is that women and children are not, or cannot be, fighters. The morality is that women and children are worth more.
I’m a man with two small children. My wife was treated like a goddess while pregnant. Never seen anything like it, very eye opening, had never seen a person so societally elevated. Humans, rightfully, place a premium on the lives of women and children.
It’s how we mammals, evolved. From a perfectly brutal perspective, and ignoring smaller factors, I can splatter my seed everywhere. The woman has to take it from there, and that’s one hell of a burden.
As much as I love the idea of sexual equality, it’s simply not true when survival is at stake. So yeah, as a man, I’ve learned my life is worth less. And I’m fine with that.
tl;dr: Suck it up boys. Your life barely counts vs. women and children. You got plenty of other advantages.
Don’t try to bring up biology as some sort of excuse for this behavior when our closest relatives are matriarchal, and our ancestors have been cooperative breeding since before we were even anatomically modern human. Not to mention we posses the ability to rise above our base instincts and apply thought and reason to our actions. What you witnessed was not a biological predetermined truth, it was a social construct.
Don’t “suck up” discrimination, stop this ‘man up’ attitude.
It’s also pretty fucked up to infantilise women like that.
