    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

        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.
