Policy of Ladies First?

[Phantom]

The lifeboats didn't get filled properly because of the mad rush to get into them, not because women and children wanted 80% of the lifeboat to stretch their legs in. Are you saying that a fully grown man is as deserving of a place on a lifeboat as a mother and her child?

Though technically speaking, I think young men should have been allowed on too. Women can last longer in the cold because of higher fat density. But I guess they didn't know that then.

Yes,they are deserving. In those days who was the ones breaking there backs and working the hell out of themselves in order to provide for a family? The male has. Most women in those days only got little household chores and the baby to take care of. The way I see it, women had it easy back then, its the males who actually DID all the work. Household chores and watching some kid everyday sounds very peachy and easy compared to back breaking labor, carrying heavy shit in 100 degree heat, and more labor on top of more labor. So I think men are indeed deserving of much more, especially when it comes to saving their own lives as well. I mean wouldn't it suck if you were a male and you sacrificed yourself on lets say...the Titanic!


While those women and children got the luxury of escaping with there lives, the men that were left behind had to suffer and eventually die because of some dumbass policy of ladies first. I honestly wouldn't bother wasting my life away for some woman if my life is on the line unless it was my mother, call it selfish if you want, but hey, if you can't save your own life how can save other lives? I mean hell, I'm human, I actually want to live, unlike those pathetic men who practically killed themselves just so some wench and a brat could live on without there provider..lol.


That's just how I feel about the subject. And even in the present, women are more greedy, more ignorant, more bitchy, and way more devious then they were back in the 20's. I mean you can't even wait in line at the movie theater without some woman and her girlfriends cutting in line in front of you, but is that the gentlemanly thing to do? With everything? I mean the majority of men today only let women go first so they can look at their asses...it's pathetic...and I mean pathetic.


I've seen it happen many a time. Like when driving for example. I was waiting for the trolley one day and this whoreish lookin woman with these booty shorts and breast all hanging it (disgusted the hell out of me). This black dude was so busy peeping out to spy on the woman he didn't notice the kid that was in front of his car! The dude literally ran over the little boy just to stare at some hoe's ass (sorry ladies). Sadly the little boy died, and the guy was caught and convicted. DUMBASS. Sorry but I had to cap it.


So do I think men are deserving of a place on a lifeboat? Yes. Got enough women as it is lol.

I was going to reply. I even put the letters in. But I think you're joking now.

I don't see how you being disgusted by one individual has anything to do with the "gentleman" tradition. Is it so wrong to adore women? I could say the same old crap about how they're the ones giving birth, how they have to prove themselves harder than most men, but even though it's true, I won't.

I don't believe there's anything wrong with the Ladies First thing.

You're not obliged to participate and if a little tradition like this one doesn't suit you, that's just fine. But you shouldn't base the functionality of a rule on exceptions (like prostitute-like women behaving inappropriately, or what would you expect?).

It's almost like those people wanting to ban every "excessive" nudity/gore in quality films, because one nutjob on the planet can't tell the difference between fact and fiction and starts shooting in some High School.

With that said, the Ladies First thing which you criticise is not exactly source of any trouble is it?
And I doubt the men on the Titanic were thinking "Look at that, were gonna fall into freezing water. Luckily, there are lifeboats here! But hold on a second. We should only let women in the boats, cause yknow, Ladies First thingy." (everyone goes *oooh, right!*) lolz.
