No sympathy for dead men?
I was listening to a local radio reporter this morning reporting on the recent earthquake in Morocco. She said “hundreds are dead from the quake, including many women, children and elderly.” It sounded like she was expressing sympathy, but she pretty much included everyone except 20-70 year-old men. Do men deserve less sympathy when they die than the groups she mentioned? As a man myself, it doesn’t really bother me but it sounded kind of odd.
