Yes I am sure you would appreciate that mentality when its your wife or child being shot in cold blood so another man could be safe. Children get to go first over adults because they have not yet had a chance to live. Anyone too heartless to understand that basic concept doesn't even deserve to breathe. Mothers or fathers should be next as long as the child has one parent. Also lets not pretend everyone going into the water will die. Men often claim they are superior so they have a better chance of survival, if this mentality is true at all. Hopefully one day when you all have kids, something like this doesn't happen and a man doesn't slaughter your kids to save himself and you have to think back to this conversation and live with the consequences of that conversation for the rest of your life. |
Spoken like a true fascist.
First of all, it's easy to see that a lot of the people with the "fuck everyone" mentality aren't giving this a genuine consideration. Nothing wrong with that. They don't have to; and they're not hurting the conversation, so you have no right to call them out so aggressively.
Secondly, the question was: whom do you save first. It was not whom do you let go in the water first or whatever. So what you said regarding that is irrelevant. Men claim that they're physically superior, because they are (on average) with respect to strength and endurance. That's a fact. Why do you think the genders are kept separate in professional sports? But, like mentioned before, it's easier for a woman to float up for longer, due to the higher percentage of body fat. Likewise, a fully developed male also probably has a higher body density than a prepubescent child. So, by your "better chance to survive argument", should women and children be thrown overboard first?
Thirdly, your morbid description for what you hope doesn't happen is, well, morbid. And what consequences are you talking about? We're not pushing for a bill or anything. This is just a conversation. Take it easy. Relax.
