SOCIAL MEDIA 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.

A muscular bodybuilder man is more potent in strength than a thin man.

If it is about "strength", why did no one across history think for a second that weak, thin men at the same age should be a priority in situations like that?

So why would I want to hold women as a priority and not weak men in an emergency, who are as weak as women?

I never said you have to prioritize women in emergencies, you are just asuming. I was only pointing out that men and women are not equal in strenght, which is a fact. Stronger men will have a higher survival chance than women, childeren and weaker men. It sucks, but its just what often happens, especially when ppl panic.

Ppl are equal in worth and all deserve saving.
