It was women and children first, not women and children only. They didn't know they were going to die.

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.

Pre divorce me would save the women...post divorce me would make a raft out of the women.

Now they let old people and disabled people on first during the lifeboat drills.
Screw that, it should be young able body people who can quickly get on the boat. Old people had a nice life.
There was room for men on the Titanic lifeboats if they wanted a spot, because the below deck people got blocked from them, lol.

I do wonder if your time wouldn't have been better spent looking for items that would float and being prepared to board those rather than a life raft.
And there was plenty of room for 2.

Children yes. Hot women, yes bc if you survive it’s a guarantee lay. Definite no to fat chicks. It’s simply a weight consideration. More people in the life boat without the fatty.

It was a different time.
When I imagine a cruise ship now, I picture pure chaos if shite got real. Trashy women looking for kids that have run amok. Life boats that are supposed to seat 8 only hold 5 because of fatasses. 9 year olds whining about not having a phone to play on. Adults whining about not having a phone to update their social media. Throw in tats and affliction shirts, and it seems complete.

I’d save myself George Costanza style. I don’t like people.
One of you plant workers beat me to it

more interesting question is why no women felt the need to step aside for their husbands or even give the courtesy to offer. ? If I said go on the lifeboat and she didn’t even try to save me or question it I’d skip the line and walk on
quote:
On the night of the sinking, Isidor and Ida Straus were seen standing near Lifeboat No. 8 in the company of Mrs. Straus's maid, Ellen Bird. Although the officer in charge of the lifeboat was willing to allow the elderly couple to board the lifeboat with Miss Bird, Isidor Straus refused to go while there were women and children still remaining on the ship. He urged his wife to board, but she refused, saying, "We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go." Her words were witnessed by those already in Lifeboat No. 8 as well as many others who were on the boat deck at the time. Isidor and Ida were last seen standing arm in arm on the deck.

She was a very brave and loyal woman. Hope everyone can find one like that. I don’t want a lifeboat chaser

My instinct would be to help others and if I die doing it.. Oh well.. It was a good run.

If you were on the Titanic at the time of the sinking, would you willingly die so that a random woman or child could live? What if there were no social consequences afterwards if you decided to save yourself?
I have to live with myself.
A coward dies a thousand deaths. I would hope I was like John Jacob Astor or Benjamin Guggenheim.
quote:
John Jacob Astor, reputedly the richest man of his day, is said to have fought his way to a boat, put his wife in it and then stepped back and waved her goodbye. Benjamin Guggenheim similarly refused to take a seat, saying: "Tell my wife . . . I played the game out straight and to the end. No woman shall be left aboard this ship because Ben Guggenheim was a coward."
Guggenheim and Giglio were last seen seated in deck chairs in the foyer of the Grand Staircase sipping brandy and smoking cigars, ready to accept their fate without fear or hesitation.

did you miss the iron gates and padlocks prevented anyone not rich from getting anywhere near the open decks?
if you just talking about rich guys saying frick chivalry and getting on the boats, many did just that

Men have done wild things the respect of their peers.
