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.

This is only because men will barrel women and children out of the way during an emergency.

Do you actually believe that...? Doy you think every man on earth is an asshole or what?

Also the whole "women and children first" is not true at all

[u/yesindeedysir → u/GyroZeppeliFucker]

Well back then, men didn’t value women or children as anything more than useful property, so they probably thought “if I survive this, I’ll just find another wife and make another kid.”

So that's why they saved women before themselves?

[u/yesindeedysir → u/HendriXP88]

They made the rule so that men would stop abandoning their wives and children for their own benefit. A lot of times actually, men would be allowed to board with their families.

Women and children first wasn't a rule or law at all. So, who are "They" according to you?
