    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.
