“Women and children go first…..”
Post by King Karan on Jan 22, 2006, 2:02am
Recently I was on a cruise ship going to the Virgin Islands. The first hours of the cruise all passengers were required to conduct an exercise of how to put the life-vests on in case of an emergency, to be aware of the signal for distress (7 “toots” on the horn), where to gather, etc.
Then, we were told that in no uncertain terms that in the case of an emergency, women and children have priority on smaller emergency boats! They go first, men go last.
I inspected the number and size of the available boats later on and there was no way that all 2600 people on the ship can fit on the smaller boats!
Which prompts me to ask: WHY should women have priority in life-threatening situations when they are equal to men?!?!?
What would happen if I ignore the rule and fought my way to get on a boat? I suspect jail time and public condemnation, ruined “social standing”, etc. Now that I am out of the Matrix, I have no ethical problem with braking the rule. But am honestly curious what would you do in a Titanic-like situation?

This is a tricky question. The answer demanded by all the social conditioning is one of self-sacrifice in order to save the lives of women and children. So I will come clean and guiltlessly state that I will not die for someone I do not know. However, I will not be plowing my way through every fat fuck that deserves it. Instead, I will be helping out everyone I can, while safely guaranteeing a spot for me and my loved ones to escape. There is no ‘ladies first’ in a crisis situation. However, if there was, I will shoot the instigators and play god with the remaining minutes of my life.

Children first?
Yes. Men should protect those who cannot protect themselves. Children qualify.
Ladies first?
Yes. I accept the idea that gentlemen should protect true ladies. They are an endangered species nowadays and are much rarer than gentlemen. Besides, I can probably swim or float longer than they can.
Feminists first?
Nope. If they demand equality, I say let them have all the true equality they can take, and then some. Let them swim or sink.

Nemo: let’s be realistic here – how do yo know who is who? Suppose you are by yourself (no GF or wife on board). Suppose something happens, OK not as dramatic as Titanic, but let’s say the ship will sing in an hour and you have to get ready in 1/2 hours to leave the ship. They line up, women and children go in the boats first. They don’t say feminists, they say ALL women go before you do.
There is no room, for you. What do you do then?

Knock out one of the crew, don his uniform, and scream at the top of my lungs, “There is not enough room for all of the children. All women who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the children, step forward.”
All true ladies will then step forward.
When no more women step forward, I’ll push the remaining femchicks overboard, and fill the lifeboats with the ladies and children.
If there is still room, the remaining men will compare notes. Anyone with kids gets in first. Anyone with dependents (sick wife, old parent, etc.) gets in next. Single, non responsible men (including myself) go last.
By then, the sharks will have full bellies and I’ll just float until rescued.

What cruise company was this? I will make sure to never consider them anytime in the future and spread the word.
I would let children go first, but not one damn woman would be allowed to go before me. Equality, suck it up weaker sex.

In a life or death situation, it would be, “my family first”, including ME. I have a nice foreign wife and she would be devastated to live without me. So it wouldn’t make much sense to save her if I am going to die.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s survival of the fittest, something lacking to an extreme degree in todays world, which is why we’re in such a sorry state. These days, it’s survival of the unfittest, with gubment support for it. I’m gonna get on one of those boats, and if anyone is fitter than me, they can throw me off.

I would protect my loved ones and ensure that they would have a place on the life rafts. I would also make sure that I had a place on a life raft after all children have been placed on board.

Wymen wanted equality, they can fucking drown on the boat. Once the kids are safe its every fucker for themselves… however considering men contribute more to society than women, maybe it should be men first with the children.

Children first, then one male, one female, one male, etc.
That’s equality.

Skinny people first. You can fit more on one boat.
Fat people stay behind.

Forget waiting for the cruise-liner to sink on your vacation. You can find situations like this in your daily lives. How about the next time you get on a public bus and a pregnant woman gets on and all the chairs are taken, remain in your seat.
Here in Toronto we’ve got a subway system. They did a survey on passengers to see what daily riders liked and disliked about riding the subway.
Biggest complaint from women was that during rush-hour, when all the seats were occupied, they were bummed out that no man occupying a seat would get up and offer it to them. Most of these women were not pregnant either. Most just had full hands of shopping, parcels, baggage, etc and were surprised why no one would move for them. With regards to public buses, women with kids in strollers were also bummed about this. I say fuck’em. I never have and never will loose my seat for a woman.
Seems like in Toronto, men have already caught on to the feminist bullcrap and won’t give them the time of day.

That’s funny, the same thing has happened to me.
I get on the subway with bags and the like, and I get upset that no woman gives up her seat for me!
I can understand the women on this one. I guess we do have many of the same problems.

You are kidding right?
Per your comment, that’s exactly my point, why should ships be any different from the subway? We have no such rules for emergencies on airplanes either (not that I am aware of).
In any event, one should be vocal that old rules no longer apply, including in life or death situations. That’s when the rubber hits the road.
It would be interesting though if a couple goes on a ship and she tells him she’s filed for a divorce and wants to see him suffer for a week in a confined environment – and an accident happens …

What would be the value in saving an AW from drowning?
With an almost infinite supply of non-feminized FW worldwide, American women are worthless, redundant, and disposable.
To “lose” some AW would actually be no loss at all – as she can easily and quickly be replaced by a non-feminized FW.

Due to discrimination against men, perhaps the only thing to do would be the almost unthinkable and certainly laughable but possibly-successful thing to do. Pack an extra “change” of clothes. Bring a puffy bra, a huge oversized exercise clothing getup, phony hair, some face paint items, and just lose all rational thought, squeal like crazy and freak out groping at all MEN FOR HELP.
Its all a big act, some women I know can tell you all about ACTING.

Anyone feel like I do and while everyone is bitching about a space on the lifeboat – real men would be out on the fantail building a fucking ark to save ourselves with.
A few hatch covers, some bailing wire and duct tape, and I’m off on my own damn lifeboat – and screw the rest. I’d be more worried about getting enough safe drinking water for my raft – Bud Lite will do in a pinch – men have something women and children don’t, let’s use it.
MGTOW means just that – we get our ass in gear and fix the problem our own way. Life boats are for pussies, I’m sailing home on the HMS MGTOW.

Simple, the rule should be “Children 1st”
men and women should then take equal place.
Women want equality, they can have it.
I would not give up my life for some woman I didn’t even know.
