Males are by default seen as expendable by society. Just look at how people treat homeless men vs how they treat homeless women.
One time I was coming home from wageslaving late at night on the subway, and a homeless guy asked me for some money, I gave him ten bucks because I was feeling generous, and a roastie sitting behind me shouted "10 DOLLARS? WHAT ABOUT ME!?" and she and her fellow roastie friends started laughing. Ngl, I actually started regretting the decision because it reminded me of when people would laugh at me as a kid in school.
The guy basically sprinted off after I gave him the money, maybe he was embarrassed or maybe he just wanted to go buy more drugs I dunno.
