No kidding but if you ask most people who would you rather shoot, women and children or men I bet most would most would say men.

Yes, men are treated more or less disposable in reality. Fun world ain't it!?
In the strictest utilitarian manner, it does make logical sense. 100 men and 1000 women would repopulate sooner than 100 women and 1000 men ignoring monogamy.
And that is why I will always decry war. I prefer my expendability to not come up.
