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

I don't think the men back then gave their seats up for the women and children, I think it was more "women and children first" onto the lifeboats, with men having last priority. Unless you were a man of status or something.
As for me, I think I'd give up my seat for a child...but probably not a woman. Well, not most women. A mother, maybe, depending on how old her children are.

Out of the fact I'm probably too nice a guy to say no. But I feel no obligation to based on my gender. I think just about anyone would for a child though.
TBH though, I probably wouldn't be someone waiting to get on a lifeboat in the first place. I'd probably be doing something helpful. Maybe stupid and dangerous, but helpful to others on-board.

I would give it up, for both women and children. I have the moral dilemma of whether I'd do it unconditionally. For instance, what if a woman was a complete C*** ? I'd consider letting her go down with the ship, but I'd probably give in and give her my spot anyway.
