Equality on the Titanic

CageWager

I was just reading something about the Titanic and how the lifeboats were filled with women and childern first and it got me thinking, with the level of equality demanded in todays society would the same rule apply should a similar situation happen circa 2011.

As a man, would you be happy to let the women survive or is it "every man for himself" these days?

Women, would you feel entitled to a space on a lifeboat before a man?

I'm a woman - I get to go first. :mad:

Woman have fought for equality with men for the last 100 years, if i'm on a boat and it sinks i will grant them their wish.

I think it is still meant to be women and children first but I don't think I am entitled to a place on a lifeboat just cos i'm a woman!

One of the last things they'll ever hear ^^

It wouldn't still be the case. There's enough life boat spaces these days anyway.

ilovesleep

Bankers, politicians and developers first.

Actually, never mind that.

Bankers, politicians and developers ONLY

If the childers are skangers, they're not getting on before me...likewise the wimmin unless they're hot.....but if I survive I expect serious oral attention after :pac:

Who's gonna make the sandwiches if the boat is full of useless men who can't use washing machines?

Which brings up another issue...should it only be the good looking people allowed to get on the lifeboats?

No way. Unless they're strong enough to get past me .

As some films represent, the statue quo was NOT honoured then, so why would it be different now?

We'd ALL drown today. And we do have a few contemporary examples of that sadly.

jill_valentine

I think our understanding should be modified to "parents and children". I've no problem waiting my turn with the dudes, for the record.

af_thefragile

I'ld let the bitch get on the boat.
Bitches love boats...

You mean if their stomachs are strong enough

Don't care as long as Jack Dawson goes first.

Dudess

Old people, children, sick/disabled people, pregnant women (because they may not be able for swimming) first.

Podge_irl

Being overly selective during evacuation is just going to slow the whole process down and cause more people to die.

The old have seen enough, world population is out of control, disability is such suffering.

Yes madam, the boats are at the far end, ...not at all.

Children yes, but women nah, and we are physically stronger so the headline will read 1700 lost all women.

Kittens first. Then Kids. Then adults by usefulness.

But maybe this time there will be a happy ending and our hearts will go on?

Yeah but the aim of that exercise was clearly to weed out hypocritical feminazis who insisted women should be first.

Hmmm good point. Or is it. After all they must have done something right to make it to that age,whereas what have you done?

In fairness I'd probably help for the first half or so of the lifeboats, after that I'd fight anyone for a seat :pac:

I think Arawn is talking about doing something right to make it to that age.

Apart from cpr'd someone till paramedics got there?? not much but I alkready saved a life so they can **** back to the end of the que

Hasmunch

Why would there be lifeboats in the kitchen though?

KeithAFC

They should not have allowed the women to go first.

Kim_Il_Jong

If it was an Irish titanic sinking there'd be no rush to the life boats....we'd all be up giving out to the captain, complaining and accusing each other of who decided to let him be captain in the first place.

well done.

IT-Guy

It'd be my kids, my wife and then me. The rest of y'all can f**k right off!

Scruffles

forget men/women/kids,the life boat hierarchy is as follows:
#horses
#cats
#the ship rats
#all other animals of a non human form
#priceless items,furniture and other stuff that can make a mint on ebay
#if any space left,it can be filled up with plates and other useless bits and bobs to make sure no tiefs raid it on the sea bed in years to come.

people have arms,they can swim.
that is unless they dont have arms,in that case theyre screwed.

Richard Hillman

I paid for 1st class and one expects a 1st class lifeboat. Let the riff raff eat cake.

No Me first obvioulsy.
Women want equal rights so they got equal rights.
Now they want special rights on boats.

pi$$ off b!tches


kids - meh


wouldn't happen these days anyway as the boats these days are "unsinkable"

will I , I just did, didn't I.

Temptamperu

From what I can see women only like "equality" when it suits them.
We go first if thers a fire or emergency, they say.
You cant hit women, they say.
Temptamperu you have to lift that box sharons pregnent, they say.

Equality is a joke.

jester77

I've been called a big child many a time, so I'll be ok

Napper Hawkins

I gotta say, if it was my life on the line, the possible end of my existence........hmmm...

Yep, **** all y'all Imma gettin on that there boat and yes that is a revolver and yes there's a bullet with your name on it should you get in my way.
