"Innocent women and children yadda yadda" WTF about us men???

[NFS4]

OK, I'm getting rather irked at hearing this mess on the TV all the time. Are we men not innocent victims as well when sh!t goes down that isn't our fault??? Like a bus full of people over in Israel get blowed up and only the women and children are worthy of sympathy?

Yes, but you dont count

Men just seem to be a dime a dozen.
Women and children seem to have more value.
Maybe I'm just a little self-less...

Soilders are a different story though...

Women and children first.

We're *men*...we're RAM-Tough!

Would you rather a 27yr old man die or a 7 yr old kid?

Just me personally.
It get alot more teared up over a childs death then a 27yr man... for ex.

But what I'm saying is that whenever something tragic happens, people like to always say innocent women and children. Instead of saying innocent people, men are specifically left out.

I dunno, just something that has always been on my mind.

cause women can create more children, men can't (well you know what I mean..they are needed..but they can't create). And children..well they represent innocence and are young..they have their whole life in front of them to live....thats why.

personally i dont see a problem with it.

Women are more valuable.
One man and 1,000 women could re-populate an area; however, one woman and 1,000 men cannot.

its pretty gender-biased...in many directions.
it seems to stem from both the idea that women create children (yes, i know not alone...but...matriarchs are considered more crucial) and children in our culture tend to be an ideal...as they have Potential.
or maybe that women and children are supposedly helpless while men are not.

I think we're quite far off from having to worry about repopulation though

In today's society of "head strong" women, you would think that wouldn't be the case

If you're trying to claim that any of you guys, at least here at Anandtech, are innocent, I laugh in your face. HA!

I wanted you (whoever) to make a point by answering the statement, not turn it in to a totally different question.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Yeah, and why do they always ONLY have Women's self-defense classes? Where's the Men's self-defense classes?

i would rather none die. if i were to choose which one would die, i would get to know them both first and then decide.
