I'm not sure why everyone immediate response is "Those damn feminists want more privileges!" when it's not the women that decided this rule all those years ago. It's not because women were 'more privileged' by any means. It's because, back in the days this rule was conceived, people (men and women alike) believed that women were more helpless and needed more protection than men.

Im a feminist and this is not true. Women are considered the fairer gender because based on temperament and biology they actually are (in general). The reason women are generally sent away first because they secure the future of their people and while the men are expendable, they are not. In war or in a shipwreck, this is generally the philosophy that keeps a people alive for another generation. In civilized society women and men can bear the brunt of things the same, but in a situation when they are forced into survival mode.....it kind of goes back to square one where survival matters more. 

What is this load of feminist bullcrap? So you think that women are the fairer sex and so because you think it, it must be so? Ever think that maybe that's just your opinion and not a fact?

Then what is this crap you say about women "securing the future" of people. Wow. Yeah, it really shows that you're a feminist. Exactly the typical modern-day feminist that people tend to want to distance themselves from nowadays.
