An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Male expendability, male disposability, or the expendable male hypothesis is the idea that male lives are of less concern to a species than female lives. From a reproductivity standpoint, in most vertebrate species one male can impregnate many females, with females being limited in how fast they can reproduce. A population with many reproducing females and few males, could continue to maintain itself and grow more easily as opposed to a population with many males and few reproducing females. Across different species, males are also generally equipped with more defensive features to help with fighting and warding off predators, which leads to more male deaths in times of attack or defense.

  • Male expendability, male disposability, or the expendable male hypothesis is the idea that male lives are of less concern to a species than female lives. From a reproductivity standpoint, in most vertebrate species one male can impregnate many females, with females being limited in how fast they can reproduce. A population with many reproducing females and few males, could continue to maintain itself and grow more easily as opposed to a population with many males and few reproducing females. Across different species, males are also generally equipped with more defensive features to help with fighting and warding off predators, which leads to more male deaths in times of attack or defense. According to Carol Mukhopadhyay and Patricia Higgins, the concept of male expendability was first written down by fellow anthropologist Ernestine Friedl in 1975, calling it the "relative expendability argument." In humans, Warren Farrell, a founding figure of the men's rights movement, has defined male expendability as society's willingness to sacrifice the health, wellbeing, and lives of males to serve its interests and keep itself safe from outside predation and attack. While the patriarchal cognitive frame assigns the role of sex object to women, it assigns to men the role of violence object, with male expendability being corollary to the sexual objectification of women. Male expendability includes the social expectation that men will step in to defend others from danger, work the most dangerous jobs, and risk death or serious injury by doing so. (en)
