4th law of robotics

5. But only against certain groups

a stop violence against men group would garner at best apathy, more likely outright hate.

Consider the massive marketing campaign that breast cancer research has become. What is the color for that? I'm guessing there are tribes that have never had contact with the outside world that are still aware "pink ribbon" = "breast cancer research".

How many know the color for prostate cancer awareness?

I've seen NBA players wearing pink ribbons. I've never seen WNBA players wearing light blue ones.

Men *are* seen as disposable. So violence/death that primarily affects men? Meh.


Which headline would catch more attention: 100 killed, including 96 men. Or: 100 killed including 4 women.
