Aren't the fighting age men also barred from leaving, while women and children can go abroad?

Come on, the men are having all the fun playing with cool weapons and blowing shit up... The UN, probably...

The headline appeared to be pretty dismissive of the hardship men have endured during this conflict. However headlines are often misleading (especially on Reddit) so I decided to read the article. There is really nothing in the article to support the claim that “women and children have suffered disproportionately” but it is also a short and poorly written article. Perhaps they try and justify the statement in the primary source material? The article has no link to the primary source.

As it currently stands, it seems like a pretty sexist statement.
