The Captain of the Titanic ordered Men and Women first. Surprisingly, Feminists of the time believed that ‘women and children first’ infantilised women.
In 2012, the Men on the Costa Concordia saved themselves first. The passengers were of course angry. The Article below has further examples of shipwrecks before the Titanic where Men saved themselves first.
It's obvious where Men rate in society, last and disposable. A book named "The Myth of Male Power" by Dr. Warren Farrell goes into great detail about "Male Disposability." And that is what we're truly talking about!
Youtube has numerous videos on Dr. Farrell included a 3 hour audiobook of "The Myth of Male Power".

They wanted equal rights, now they can have them! First come, first serve. Not only that, lots of crazy bitches and spoiled entitled little brats out there! Like fuck they should think they should come first automatically.
"Women and children first" seems to happen quite naturally. If I was in a disaster situation with my family, my father would evacuate his children, me, first then his wife before him. My brother would make sure his children, his sister's and girlfriend got evacuated before he did.
In a situation where it's complete strangers, everyone fends for themselves I guess. It's easy to say, "children first" when the situation isn't actually happening. Let alone when it isn't your child. I feel as though the people commenting would be acting QUITE differently if this was a REAL life situation.. which has been proven, due to the countless disaster situations in past history.
Children should, ultimately, but as far as the sexes go as adults I don't think this is necessary nor desirable. I respect the lives of everyone, and knowing someone went or was forced to die for me - someone I maybe didn't even know would be a heavy burden. I wouldn't really be able to live with myself. I would never want that.
We live in a world that is always developing safety hazards, so with hope we won't find ourselves in a life or death situation where one persons life has to be sacrificed. It's a tragedy when this happens.
I think for things like who should be given safety first , it should be children, the elderly and disabled or sick. They can't fend for themselves like a healthy adult.
I believe children should be first for definite. Adults, regardless of gender, should be able to fend for themselves.

children should be first. parents should be second.
I voted for man's choice. I mean if he doesn't let women and children first, he'll look like an asshole if people are watching, but each to their own.
yes, because despite everything equality has given us, we need women and children to bear the progeny and men are unfortunately expendable in that regard. one man can inseminate multiple women, it's not so much the other way around.
Children first. Adults should decided between the couple.
I don't know about women, but children first, absolutely.
Children first should be. I don't care whether men or women go first.
Children, always first. They are a priority in both a husband and a wife's lives.
I believe the children part should still at least be upheld.
Unless males want to be treated and talked to like females, it's best to leave it as is.
I say women and children first, unless the danger is in front, then man goes first to clear the area.
If i was married and had children, i would let them go first just by default
Because women and children are weak and therefore unable to save themselves it is incumbent on men to ensure their survival. That hasn't changed as far as I know.
Man-up dood. Women and children need to be protected, so of course they come first.
Perhaps you should'a been a girl. Oh wait, maybe you were raised like one. Sad really. :(Children first, then men and woman.
No... should be men first
Everyone for themselves.
Yes, I uphold it in all parts of my life.
