People don't really care about men unless they're beyond the median bell curve threshold (rich/white/etc). As if that's what defines a human experience.
In truth, I hardly find these statistics surprising.
Culturally, men are often seen as more dispensable, as they are not the ones giving birth. They are also taught to be more "tough", which leads to less visits to mental health professionals, and, subsequently, deterioration of mental health issues.
according to my biology teacher, this is not cultural but rather a biological fact prevalent in (most? all?) animals - not that this would help in any debate
People don’t care about white men generally (hence terms like “white trash”). Rich, famous, highly skilled athletes/musicians/scientists/actors/politicians/etc are what people care about. Ultimately it comes down to “what have you done for me lately?”
In other words, people care about themselves as a rule, and the extent to which they care about others is related to what utility others can provide to the “carer.”
