In a titanic-like situation, should guys sacrifice themselves for women?

Imagine a titanic-like situation. The ship is sinking and there aren't enough lifeboats for everyone. Should we sacrifice ourselves and let the women go first?

Yes we should ( I'm a guy ) 10
No we shouldn't ( I'm a guy ) 16
Yes you should ( I'm a girl ) 6
No you shouldn't ( I'm a girl ) 5

    For those women yes but for the women of today idk. If they want equal rights then the whole chivalry goes out the window. You cant have your cake and eat it too. If you wanna be equal to a man you have to be equal in all ways.

      YESSS! I've been saying it like that for a long time! Not against women or anything, but equal = equal.

    • I see what you mean. Why should we sacrifice ourselves for our women today, if they want equality?

          "The Titanic isn't a romance movie it's a horror show. You're looking at it thinking you're going to be the girl who floats away on the piece of luggage, I'm most likely going to be the guy who falls down the middle of the ship when it breaks in half banging off the sides going 'I SHOULD HAVE FUCKED THAT CHICK IN FIRST CLLLAAAaaaassss-'"

            Jokes aside though when they first started lowering boats they lied to everyone and said that the californian boat was coming to get them soon and it was safer to stay on the titanic. Men at first were allowed on the lifeboats because no one would get on them because they were told and thought it was more risky to be lowered down and risk the lifeboat flipping.

            My ass would have been one of the first ones on those lifeboats I think. I would never fall for some shit like that where theyre lowering life boats but saying the titanics not gonna sink. Im way too paranoid to listen to that shit.

              It would have been really hilarious and interesting if they had mixed to the whole vaccinated versus unvaccinated equation into that. I know covid-19 didn't exist back then but if something like that happened today.

    There’s a conflict of interest here. The women want most of the men to live for income, help around the house, and homework/sports with the kids.

    The men want most of the other men to die so they get all the chicks for themselves.

        Meh. Survival artistry, and reproductive artistry are different games. In either case, be sure to log in after the disaster and tell me all about it. Social artistry is the game I play.

            Why bother? The sharks will clean up the whole mess for free. Wouldn’t you be better off drinking with the drifters at a bar where the cops never go?

    What somebody does in a situation like that is up to them.

    Women and children should go first on boats yeah, or any single man who has children. Children are generally innocent and have their whole lives ahead of them.

      Or any parents of said kids should get on them first. Wouldnt want to create orphans when their parents are right there.

      Single people I'll be making flotation devices out of furniture if you need me.

    No, definitely not. Equality means exactly that. Our lives have equal value.

    People often say they would give their life for someone else. But if you're in a life-and-death situation, you're going to push past everyone and everything to try to survive. This little Instinct called self-preservation kicks in and overrides everything else in your mind and says, I want to live!

      Exactly. You know, I just like how people are like, "Sacrifice your life for others! SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE FOR OTHERS IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!" as if they'd actually do that.

        I am convinced that no living thing wants to die before it's time.

    While it’s not a completely black and white issue, I do think there should be some prioritization given to youth and femininity when it comes to life and death situations.

    I think everyone should prefer to sacrifice themselves so that others may live, regardless of gender. Especially if it were for your children and husband or wife.
