what i fail to understand is why female lives are worth more than mens?
while i agree that war is despicable and we all have the responsibility to work against systems and circumstances that will lead to war i think you coose the easy way.
from your comment I doubt you have ever been in the army- I have it's compulsory where I live so I can understand the pressure a bit better than somebody who never experienced this system.
another thing: during WWII in the Nazi regime it was not only your live that was forfeited when refusing to join the army but your family had to face repressions too.
I consider myself very lucky to not face such grave circumstances and decisions...
Female lives have always been more valuable. The survival odds (fitness) of a clan are directly related to the number of females. Because, of course that limits the size of the next generation i.e. growth.
Because ten women and one man can give birth to ten babies every 9 months (the next generation will be hideous, but one step at a time!). Ten men and one woman can only give birth to one baby in the same time period.
