And they really do expect those big strong guys to step in front of bullets for them. Hell, I don't even have a dick and I will step in front of bullets for women, just because that's what my mother taught me to do. Men are taught that their lives are worthless. And that message is repeated to them for their entire lives. When one woman is killed, it's a national tragedy. When a bunch of men are killed, so what? They're men. And men are pretty easy going about this. When they step in front of bullets, they just want to die knowing that their mothers would have been proud of them for being big, and strong, and brave.

Why is it no big deal when a man gets raped in prison, and then a crime against humanity when that same person gets raped after a sex change?
Why is my proudest memory from childhood the way that my mother doted over me and was so proud of me when I put myself between danger and my older sister? My father just nodded at me curtly. But my mother was so freaking proud. And don't get me wrong; I really loved her for that. It's hard to be a big, strong, brave man if your mother isn't proud of you.
What you are describing here is the patriarchy perceiving women in terms of their biology, there to accept sperm and to turn it into babies. This is unfair to both genders, men and women. Men are expected to protect the precious resources whilst a woman's value is seen in terms of her biology, not as a person.
This is why the right wing conservatives are fear mongering about trans-women being allowed into women only spaces yet don't give a shit that what they advocate would force trans-men to use them instead even though it would make cisgendered women far more uncomfortable. This is because they know that the trans-men aren't able to impregnate their harem whereas they don't want to risk a pre-op trans-women doing the same (despite the fact that HRT would make it impossible). Right-wing conservatives talk about trans-women as predators infiltrating women's toilets (bathrooms) or changing rooms (locker rooms), yet this never actually happens. What does happen though are the same Christian republican politicians sexually assaulting women in those very same spaces. These transphobic politicians are assuming that everyone else is thinking like them.
Misogyny objectifies women and keeps them in their place and you are embracing that and are now part of the problem. I don't know why. I can only assume because you are desperately trying to be accepted by the society you exist in. Yet if we treat both men and women first as people, and recognise that the toxic masculinity you are trying to adopt is harmful to both, then the world will slowly evolve to be a better place.
