“Men have never been killed because of their gender”, is one of the most ignorant, and mind-numbingly offensive remarks I read online. To say it, is to sound a foghorn of one’s own stupidity; that erases the unfathomable suffering, and untold deaths of men and boys around the world, that the proponent is clearly unaware of. Many millions of men and boys have suffered and died, selectively killed, because of their gender. Of course – That is not to say women and girls have not endured unspeakable things, and continue to, by virtue of their gender – they have. Such experiences are just different to what happens to men and boys; neither is “worse”, and such comparisons need not be made anyway. But I for one am tired of men and boys’ experiences of gendercide being denied by self anointed guardians of morality. Those who have not seen the mass graves of Srebrenica. Those who have not heard the wails of pain, from Kashmirs “half widows”; whose husbands and sons have simply disappeared. Those who have not walked the cemeteries of Anfal, that hide the bodies of countless Kurdish males, killed at the bequest of Saddam. By denying such selective killings of men and boys, we are only allowing them to happen again. So, dear armchair expert, who sits on the throne of their own arrogance and privilege; who scoffs at the idea of men and boys losing their life by virtue of their sex. Educate yourself. Learn the word ‘androcide’, whose counterpart of ‘femicide’ we all know so well. Stop making men and boys pay the price of your own ignorance and callousness. And admit, that men and boys, women and girls, all suffer due to their sex, just in different, equally horrifying ways. What do you think? ~ Read more at https://www.gendercide.org/
