Well... I mean... soldiers are seen as disposables, women can be soldiers now too. But... when women couldn’t be soldiers... it was because men made rules saying women couldn’t be soldiers. Women had to fight men to change the rules because men didn’t want women to be soldiers. So while we do need to value our soldiers better- that’s not a gender issue. Or at the very least I think you are misunderstanding how this all works. But the premise that we treat men as disposable- because most soldiers are men... is actually an example of sexism against women because only recently were women allowed to be soldiers so all soldiers would by default... be men. A choice made... by men.

Even the logic there shows an inherent sexism because unintentionally or not- you seem to have completely forgotten about the brave women serving this country- including the first ever female SOF operator to fully go through selections (there were women who previously qualified but didn’t enter special service.) So it a tad ironic than in standing up and saying “hey- what about men- we can’t forget the men...” you forgot the women. Which is one of the major reasons we keep hearing about women. Because we keep forgetting the women.

But.. I’d be curious to know, of the many ways you allude as men are seen as disposable- you only list the one, which we already covered isn’t men being seen as disposable- since soldiers are also women... so what are some of the other ones? Can’t say police. Remember- there are women police. We can’t say athletes- there are women athletes- and they usually make less. So what are the areas where we as a society specifically see MEN as disposable in the same role where we do not treat women or others as disposable too? What are the unique challenges that men face in being seen as not disposable versus another sex or gender in the same role?
