Im sure many of the people who frequent these forums are of the mind not to pay attention to the feminist radicals, feminazi's as some call them, so Im sure this post won't blow into discrimination of a certain gender. 

Here goes. There's 300 people on a sinking ship and 100 lifeboats that seat just one person and a child. In days past the women and children would get the life boats and the 100 men would be left to drown. 

So, by today's standards do we put 50 men and 50 women on the boats along with the children or do the women and children first, as has always been the case?

Of course that is just a completely ludicrous situation but what say you?

Thoughts? 

Firefighters will always save the women first in the event of a fire. In hostage situations you always hear the phrase " at least let the women and children go" and young men have been sent to die on battlefields for centuries. Men have always been disposable and whlie up untill recently men have had more freedoms and oppurtunities, the lives  of men have always been valued less than the lives of women. This is one of the reasons why our species has been successful because the baby makers have been protected. You don't need many men to repopulate the species but you will always need lots of women.
