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
What exactly? Dispensability of males? It is indeed common in the animal world, though not universal; besides, we don’t struggle to survive as a species, and culturally evolved to be humane.
imho the “humane” part is mostly propaganda to hide the insane atrocities of our time. there is way more (hu)man-made misery than in earlier times
Earlier times featured slavery, neverending wars everywhere, and a lot of other sources of completely man-made misery.
Now we got to understand all lives matter, sudden deaths of people are perceived as a big tragedy, yet men are still less grieved upon.
