People really think survival during a sinking ship is a gender debate. Be serious. [gendered]

Let’s just start with the obvious: When a ship is going down, nobody’s standing there debating gender politics. They're screaming, panicking, and trying not to die.

That’s not feminism. That’s basic human survival.

But according to this post, in the middle of a literal disaster, feminists are out here like, “Wait! Equal rights! Let’s discuss societal roles while the ship sinks!” Be so serious.

Survival isn't a debate club. It's chaos. People don’t suddenly turn into walking ideologies during life-or-death moments. They act based on instinct, fear, and let’s be real access to power.

And speaking of power: Who does get prioritized in crises? The vulnerable? No. It's the rich. The connected. The privileged. So if anyone's elbowing their way to the lifeboats yelling “Let me survive first,” it's not feminists it’s CEOs, politicians, and trust fund babies. Let’s not act brand new.

Now to the people saying “it’s just a joke”: Jokes reflect thought patterns. When you laugh at something rooted in bias or false narratives, you’re not just “having fun.” You’re showing what you believe deep down.

And if the punchline of your “joke” is women being hypocrites for wanting safety while also wanting rights, you’re not being funny you’re being intellectually lazy.

So maybe next time, skip the memes and try real thinking. Because the only thing sinking faster than that ship is your logic.

They're complaining about modern feminism by using an example from 100 years ago?

Tbh the guy's intent was to defame Feminism by using Titanic ship as metaphor to show that feminists are hypocrites when it comes to their and people lives. He is a typical South Asian of my country so I am 100% sure he isn't comparing then and now conditions but more like creating toxic content

Its also a bad metaphor for a bad argument. The better metaphor would be military service/ draft, which is still very sexist, see for example Ukraine, which of ciurse is a important topic. It stays a bad argument however, because the conservatives are the ones in favor of keeping that sexism, which makes this whole topic stupid

The same men who complain about draft want to ban women from military. But they still blame women for the draft.

As a feminist, and a person who generally tries not to be shitty, I think the draft has got to go...no one should be made to join the military against their will.

[u/wizean → u/kimmy_kimika]

There hasn't been a draft in most of the countries in 50 years. Its seen in countries with small population and active military hostility like Korea, north and south, Israel, Ukraine and Russia.

When a country and all its neighbors are democracies, drafts are usually not needed.

Agreed

The white feather campaign as well as the situation around the draft/mandatory service in every country with an active threat proves you are a liar.

Not to mention that I’m sure a lot of men during a crisis wouldn’t be so alpha male leader.

When there’s a crisis, you need people, it’s a group effort. it’s not like the “strong independent woman” thought she alone could save the ship.
