The "women and children first" rule is not because women have privilege over men. That rule is there to guarantee all kids are safe and with at least one of their parents. If a kid only has a father, that man can go with his child.
At least, that is how I interpret this :P |
What if a father is on a cruise with 2 of his kids? Can he nominate a male friend to mind his other child or must they be cared for by a woman?

I don't know. This rule is very old, probably from before the XIX century, when civilian travels started to become common. The mother had a bigger rol in the education of the children than it does nowadays (when both the mother and the father educate the children equally, because both are expected to work outside the house), so it made sense to choose the mother over the father.

I dont know if the "rule" is based on education, social reasons or whatever but I believe it is a perpetuation of species kind of thing, women cna have children so if you save 100 women and 1 man survives theres a potential for 100 babys there, while if you save 100 men and 1 woman survive theres only 1 baby possible there.
On modern days if youre on that boat and you sugest women and children first some feminist in the boat is likely to start yelling at you about how youre discriminating and refusing to get on the lifeboat out of principle, true story Ive been yelled at by a "lady" for ofering a seat on a crowded buss, the girl had like 50 things on her hand and was standing I was seating, i went like hey you can sit here Ill stand, o man it was like I had punched he rin the face she got super ofended.

If she got really agressive at you, you should have slugged her in the face like you would if a guy got in your face the same way! Equility is great.
