He's getting downvoted for the retrograde gender attitude. Even if he's making a valid point, casually using language like "men protecting their women" and "any man will..." makes me roll my eyes and reach for the downvote before I even realize what's happening.
It's nice that there are terms for any combination of words out there. But to get to the real point it's necessary to cut through the bs (reduce semantic complexity) and just say it like it is.
Yes, men protect their women and children during wars.
Sounds raw and simple, but that is the truth. I advice you to think about it.
Context is very important here. Saying that in NYC or Paris, sure that’s ridiculous. In Russia? That would not surprise me. Our ideals of society should not prevent us from seeing a current reality.
OP wrote, "any men", not "any man", which is grammatically incorrect, so I assume it's a typo of "many men" which is not definite, and is a reasonable assumption in my opinion.
