Many years ago a someone called Patrick pointed out to me that in the same way women are thought of as "sex objects", men are thought of as "death objects" and it explains so much.

your interpretation still seems to make men more death-subjects than death-objects, if men & women die at similar rates as a side-effect of their performance of their same-at-heart gender roles of "making more of us than of them"
Ah I see. Sex & death are often linked together. I guess I see it as from an outside view... a woman from the outside is a sex object to "me" the observer. And a man is a death object to "me" the oberver, a general moving pawns around on a battle field.
