    Possibly indicative of what “we” may expect – points 10 through 12:

    Of course it’ll take awhile and there’s the rub. Trump loses then so do we.

    Most likely forever.

    As the infamous Roissy liked to say, sperm is cheap but eggs are expensive. Men are the disposable sex.

    Another example that drives me nuts – headlines reading “99 Dead, including 12 Women and Children!” 77 men dead is a statistic; 12 women and children dead is a tragedy.

    Jason’s right. Men have always been expendable. (See this post from 2013.) It has always been considered the honorable thing for men to place themselves between women and danger. (And rightly so, I think.)

    What’s annoying here is that we are simultaneously expected to regard sexual difference as a pernicious fiction; chivalrous, protective impulses as “toxic masculinity”; and yet to see men actually dying as mattering less than women having more chores to do than men.
