This article examines the concept of male disposability, the notion that humans are an inherently male-sacrificing and female-preserving species that broadly prioritizes women's needs and wants over men's in order to maximise reproductive success. It critiques several prominent theories circulating in academia and social media, exposing their flawed logic. The conclusion advocates for a discarding of male disposability theories in favour of approaches that more accurately and compassionately contextualise the lives of men and boys.
