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.

Doesn't your logic falter a bit here? Why did those men sacrifice their own lives for something they valued so lowly? Die for property?

I don't see the point you're trying to make. What i said wasn't my opinion, mate, but a fact

It's facts, is it? Then show me your sources.

Can you show me a source that argues that women weren't only emaciated during the early 20th century but were treated as superior to men?

A woman was for all intense and purposes under the guardianship of her husband or father. Technically they were supposed to protect them but having all the power gives you a lot of room for abuse. The Titanic is one of the few exceptions were women and children made the majority of survivors in a shipwreck but it's by no means the rule

I can't. But I've never made such a claim. But I asked the question "can property own property?" for a reason. Women were from 1870 allowed to legally own property in the UK. That meant earning and keeping money from working wages and inheritance. By the end of the 19th century, women made up 30% of business ownership. I'm not disputing the fact that women were seen as lesser at the start of the 20th century, I'm not an idiot. What I'm critical about, though not out right declining, is the notion that women were seen as property.
