How does one know feminism would disappear when the life boats were lowered?
I keep seeing questions on here asking why feminism disappears when the life boats are lowered. How would these clowns know feminism would disappear? I have a strong feeling, the fools that keep asking these kind of questions wouldn’t be so brave themselves. Do they claim to be psychic?

No they are just big baby macho men, me i would change into my short trousers and be first in line for the lifeboat
Too late, I would still be a feminist, and would race to the life boats, and thank it for actually helping a man, like they preach it does.
Sorry to say this but the relentless 40 years of un ending attacks on Men in the US has rendered many Men moral and physical cowards. In 1994 I was shot at in a Family Car. I swapped vehicles with my ex wife. Who asked what it cost to replace the window shot out. And never asked if I was okay? This same Woman who is remarried now wants me to buy her a home.
I was actually grateful that I was shot at and not my ex wife with our then young Children in the Car. I saw the bullet pass by my field of vision as it shot out the Window on the Driver’s side. It just barely missed me. By literally two inches.
The loss of male life on the Titanic was due to Men who volunteered to sacrifice themselves for the Women and children. Recent Maritime disasters in the Middle East. The Men out survived the Women by a margin of 8 to 1.
A European Ship hit a reef and called for Women and Children to Life Boats first. It was an orderly call and the Men willingly complied. Even so it was scary.
I didn’t understand this question at first, but then I remembered Titanic. Haha. It depends on the woman; I would only want to be on the lifeboat if I knew all my family (if they were on the ship with me) was safe on the lifeboats as well.
That’s exactly what I thought when I read that question.
I think it is a matter of love and consideration.
I would never leave my husband on a sinking boat. I couldn’t live without him.
Actually, the whole “life boats” thing is a myth. They’ve done demographic studies of the Titanic, and class had a MUCH stronger effect on your survival chances than gender. In other words, high-class men were more likely to survive than low-class women.
I’m pretty sure that when you’re scrambling for your life, both feminism and anti-feminism goes out the window. People are gonna break down to a “biological protect myself and possibly my offspring” kind of mode.
Feminism wouldn’t vanish when the lifeboats went down.
After so many years of acculturation lots of men would push past the women because if they’re not strong enough they don’t deserve to live. It’s the same reason they treat women like kleenex–any woman stupid enough to fall for that old ‘and I really do love you’ crap deserves whatever happens to her. Feminism doesn’t really equate to equality because women make very poor men and vice versa. But those who have imbibed too freely of the Kool-Aid will buy the whole story, and plenty of women would take a black eye and cut lip to their watery graves.
Speaking for myself, I wouldn’t abandon ship until every child, woman, old man 60+, and young man under 25 was off. At which point I would wait my turn. I’d much rather be dead than try to live with the memory of being anything other than a gentleman.
I’ve seen feminism disappear for a lot less serious reasons than a sinking ship. Most feminists will retreat from feminism when it suits them; i.e. when the check comes on dates (the man generally still has to pay), doors have to be opened (I’ve never met these women who are discussed on here that hate this, but I’ve met a few women who’ll get PISSED if a man doesn’t hold the door open for them), and hard labor (we men still have to do most outdoor work), among other things. If you’re not like this, then you’re in the extreme minority. I don’t know very many feminists personally, but literally every single one I know will back away when the bad side of equality comes around. I don’t like hypocrites. If you’re not like that, I’ll respect your opinion. Most, unfortunately, are apparently like that.
I’ve never claimed to be brave enough to do that myself. I’d like to think I would be. I’ll guarantee you more men than women would volunteer for it though, it’s expected more of us
To the poster above who said class meant more than gender, look it up again. Third-class women survived at higher rates than first-class men. Women of all classes survived at higher rates than children. I believe the survival rate was about 70% for women, 50% for kids, and 20% for men. But the real kicker is that third-class men survived at higher rates than second-class men. There was a slight class discrepancy, but not nearly to the same extent as the gender discrepancy.
It’s a silly question-how many people in America would be confronted with a large ship disaster, that resulted in loss of life? We’ve had a few luxury ships have mishaps, but I don’t recall much if any loss of life. I would make sure children and the disabled and the elderly were off the ship before I would consider doing anything other than just jumping off the boat (I can swim). I wouldn’t leave unless my partner could go with me. Life wouldn’t be worth living without him.
