Poll: Guys: would you give up your seat on the last lifeboat to women and children?

[Raikov]

Since I'm swedish and the women here are... very persistent in reaching what they believe is gender equality, I won't give my seat up for a random adult woman. It's how they want it after all.

 

[royohz]

I like to think I would. Then again, the world is overflowing with children. All the old people keep on dying, and the children keeps coming! It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

 

[crazy_egyptian]

Children? Yes, they have their lives to live and it isn't my right to destroy that.
Pregnant women? I'd be saving 2 lives, so yes.
A non-pregnant woman? Don't want to seem like an asshole, but YOU wanted equality, and I got to that lifeboat first, therefore you and your equality can have a good swim.

 

[tkioz]

I would, because I'm a fuckin' man. And a real man does that kind of stuff without care for 'equal rights' and other things like that. It's the man thing to do.

You know what's funny, I agree with you.

I think there are far far too many "males" and "guys" today and very few MEN. A Man takes responsibility for his actions, a male shoulders burdens, a male will risk himself for others.

Again if you want to kill yourself to brag about how much of a "real man" you are, you are a massive sucker in my book. Seriously you could throw a child out of the way to get to the boat and you'd still be a real man. If you're a man you'll always be a man unless you modify your body a certain way.

There is a big difference between being a human male and a man.

No, there isn't.

an adult male person, as distinguished from a boy or a woman.

Bah! Tell that to my grandfather, my father, and myself. There is a vast difference despite what you claim. Manhood use to mean something, and to some of us, it still does.

 

[Ghengis John]

You can fit more women and children in my place than you can one me.

For all the talk by today's youth about how they are not on a moral backslide compared to previous generations these threads of Brawndo's constantly expose that it just isn't so.

No, there isn't.

That you do not understand the difference says a lot about you. None of it good.

 

[Bobzer77]

Damn looks like I'm swimming.

 

[sb666]

pffft. I'm only 21 and I have lots of living to do still. Sorry everyone else but in the words of a favorite video game character of mine. "If its my ass or yours, you better believe my ass will be out the door first baby."

whats that from

 

[Sunrider]

I'd give it up for my (theoretical) child or "my" woman, but everyone else is swimming.

This. Damn right I'm a greedy bastard! Seeing as I don't believe in any kind of afterlife or hell / heaven, I'm not about to give up this life for someone completely unrelated to me.

 

[Mechalemmiwinks]

No! I'm a chivalrous man and must live, as I am a dying breed! Who the Hell is going to hold doors open for women if I die? Other women? No! Women hate other women.

BTW, I'm thoroughly convinced that Jack wouldn't have died on Titanic if his retarded female comrade hadn't jumped back onto the ship. The moral of that movie is, if you meet someone you really love, cause them to die by your refusal to listen to them and end up with a dresser covered with pictures of different people you banged over the years.

 

[Kevonovitch]

not unless it's family/relationship i'm involved w/. when it comes right down to life and death, me and my own come first, and my own comes before me, simple as that.

 

[The Rockerfly]

It depends, to my wife and child then yes but to strangers fuck that every man for himself

 

[Captain Pirate]

Maybe, but not based on the idea that I'm male and therefore have to.

This, I too would do it because I want to, not because it's my duty as a male.
Besides, as only being 15, would I be classed as a child?
I mean, I'm pretty damn tall and bearded for my age, and have easily passed for 18+ before, so I guess I'd still give up my space for the real 'kiddies'. As in, 'cuddly toys and barbies dolls' kiddies.

 

[jelock]

Well, if I'm on the Titanic, that means I have a TARDIS, so I don't need a seat. It's theirs.

Dude, then no-one needs a lifeboat. Just everyone pile on in with the Doctor.

 

[ShadowStar42]

As a note I would also give up my seat for a grown man, generally I default to better me than someone else.

 

[Smertnik]

Why should I? That's totally contrary to the general sense of survival.
Besides, women and children don't have more right to live than men, that's nonsense.

 

[Titan Buttons]

Well, if I'm on the Titanic, that means I have a TARDIS, so I don't need a seat. It's theirs.

Obviously you never saw the Pompa ep

 

[Titan Buttons]

I'd do it because I believe it would be the right thing to do
