There's two ways of looking at this:
They valued men so little that the easily sacrificed them for a belief that had little merit
Women were baby factories so keep them to produce more things to sacrifice
I wonder why the people sided with the conquistadors very quickly when they arrived....
There is a third, more animalistic theory: They sacrificed boys of prolific but conquered tribes. Similar to other pack animals, they would kill viable males due to being competition for their throne.
Ding ding ding.
