This is a fascinating topic to me. I can't imagine a social construct such as chivalry being so strong that I would lay down my or my family's lives all for the sake of not being shamed.
That's wild, and it defies the strongest human nature - survival - to its core.
ETA: I'm not challenging the idea of sacrificing one's self for another. I'm specifically referencing the "women and children first" and how that must have dictated the survival or death of hundreds of people.

The people saving others aren’t concerned with shame. They are concerned with saving others if they feel they have the opportunity to do so.

No greater love than to lay down ones life for another. If you’re a beta survival wins out alphas know to protect the weak.

One better, would you have been at piece with the social status ranking which dictated 1st class go before 3rd class? While I could probably adhere to the women and children first policy, there’s no chance in hell I could’ve abided to the 3rd class after 1st class as a 3rd class passenger. I would’ve shown my 3rd class arse.
