Thoughts? Seems logical to me. It’s just too bad “protect women” in modern times often looks more like “control women”, and limit women’s access to education, opportunities, and reproductive choice 😕 https://x.com/waitbutwhy/status/1753189923497107735?s=46&t=NL3QJzRfwEGFccYAB1_vMA

I always dislike when the news report still add in ‘many of those killed were women & children’. I get the children but by adding women in it exacerbates this idea that we are helpless, or ‘need saving’ . I always wonder how men feel as if their deaths are less important. Esp when many more of them die.

While I totally agree with what you say regarding “needing saving,” I have always assumed the phrase “women and children” is used by news reporters because they’d like to imply “innocent people” without using a phrase that’s blatantly subjective.
