Hello, I'm Binksternet. I noticed that you recently removed content from Male expendability without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * I did provide an edit summary explaining the reason for the edit, which is plainly visible on the revision page, didn't you see it? Here it is:

 * Also, citing a single source as biological evidence for male expendability in war due to differences in human reproduction is shaky at best; Most deaths in war are not male combatants, but civilian noncombatants, women as well as men, meaning that female lives are most definitely not spared in war.

 * You should be looking at numbers from the times before Moses, when the patriarchy was not yet fully established. Binksternet (talk) 14:28, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Patriarchy was established in the agricultural/neolithic revolution, long before the times of Moses https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/10/how-the-agricultural-revolution-made-us-inequal and even then during warfare, if the fighting males of a society in prehistoric times were reduced by war or violence, the society wouldn't have a chance to recover and repopulate, it was overtaken by the victors with the men and children slaughtered and the women captured, assuming they weren't killed too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_warfare#Neolithic Blynken (talk) 19:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)


 * You are arguing against the Oxford University Press book Exposing Men: The Science and Politics of Male Reproduction, written by a Rutgers political science professor who examines masculinity and describes the concerns of male reproductivity. The book is painstakingly researched and very well founded, according to scholarly reviews. You would have to have exceedingly strong evidence against the conclusions of the book for you to contradict it, and even then we would tell the reader about both viewpoints, saying that this book has been widely praised and its conclusions respected.
