    im just mocking the stats in the title because it implies that women and children are targeted but it’s not like prioritising men or adults makes it any better

    it’s not like you can ethically decide whether any one of these age groups/genders are more guilty/innocent/valuable/important

    killing through genocide is similarly unjust however you do it, it’s just that sometimes discriminating some groups makes it more beneficial for the genociding party (e.g. deaths of children are more emotionally powerful when used in media)

    the stats don’t say that they don’t discriminate though, it’s just saying they don’t discriminate based on their status as a child or an adult, or gender
