    This point falls apart when you consider how it’s usually men fighting. Ideally it’d be 100% combatants, which would result in 90%< men. Of course men can also be civilians, but you’d still expect the ratio to lean a bit more than that towards men.

      Sure, but in the article they are talking specifically about civilian deaths. So combatants aren’t counted here.

        Yeah fair enough. The article contradicts itself on that point but that would make more sense.
