Gibt es evl. unerschütterliche Fakten dafür?

Ab gesehen davon ist die Behauptung sachlich ganz einfach nur falsch.
Die Masse der in Kriegen und Völkermorden getöteten Menschen sind

Jungen

und Männer im Kampalter zwischen 15 und 55.
Unter Soldaten sowieso, es gibt ja kaum Soldatinnen in Kampfeinheiten,
aber auch unter Zivilisten stellen diese Jungen/Männer die Mehrheit.

Morgen will ich nämlich Unter-die-Nase-Reiben spielen :)

Hier noch ein Auszug aus dem von mir verlinkten Text.

Wenn das jemand übersetzen mag, gerne, ich habe im Moment keine Zeit.
Er fasst das Wesentliche zusammen, der Ausschnitt:

Lastly, there are the cultural codes and humanitarian biases that have been pervasive throughout cultures. Even many highly warlike societies have chosen to limit the scale of their physical destruction of an opposed population through enslavement, concubinage, or outright freeing of women (and children). Certain ingrained norms have sometimes obtained in dealing with the elderly and infirm, though there is also ample evidence of specific savageries directed against this group. Regardless, and crucially, the most vulnerable and consistently targeted population group, through time and around the world today, is non-combatant men of a"battle age," roughly 15 to 55 years old. They are nearly universally [192] perceived as the group posing the greatest danger to the conquering force, and are the group most likely to have the repressive apparatus of the state directed against them. The "non-combatant" distinction is also vital. Unlike their armed brethren, these men have no means of defending themselves, and can be detained and exterminated by the thousands or millions. The gender of mass killing, moreover, likely extends beyond the age range specified. Elderly males are probably more prone than elderly women to be caught up in the "malestrom" of war; and modern warfare, with its relentless press-ganging and criminality, extends ever further down the age ladder in the hunt for child soldiers and street thugs -- overwhelmingly boys.
