But back when this guideline was made, the world was not overpopulated. Now it kind of is, but the guideline still remains. |
"It's also polite" isn't good reasoning. It would also be polite to let men go first.
I think that women should be allowed first for two reasons:
1) They're on average physically weaker than males.
2) You don't know which ones are pregnant or not (leading back to the "children first" mentality).
