However, contradicting that ideological thesis that tries to pit half of humanity against the other half, <strong>there are plenty of historical facts that show that men, traditionally, have done their utmost to care for and protect women.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Without going any further, <strong>historically it has been men who have gone to war.<\/strong> Feminism has twisted this fact by presenting men as the cause of wars, as if all the male sex agreed to devastate humanity and harm women. The reality is that <strong>only men went because women were considered more essential to society than men<\/strong>, being the only ones capable of fathering children and thus guaranteeing the survival of the species (in addition to because they have, on average, less physical strength). <strong>This has been the case since the dawn of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>\"Women and children first\"<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Another common fact that indicates the preference for women (and children) when it comes to saving lives is disasters. <strong>The popular expression \"women and children first\" summarizes the priority of men when it comes to keeping people safe.<\/strong> We could review many historical examples in which this maxim has been repeated, but there is one that is very revealing and representative of all of them: <strong>the Titanic shipwreck.<\/strong> Precisely on this issue, the Ecuadorian university professor Mamela Fiallo has written <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MamelaFialloFlo\/ status\/1476174461946765318\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Twitter message<\/a> addressing those numbers.<\/p>\n<p><big>The death toll for each sex in the sinking of the Titanic<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anexo:Pasajeros_a_bordo_del_RMS_Titanic\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> compiles the data on passengers by sex, taken from from the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/Titanic-Children-Judith-B-Geller\/dp\/1852605944\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\"Titanic: Women and Children First\" by Judith Geller<\/a>, in which total passenger figures by gender were published. <strong>The data is very revealing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In first class, 4 women died (2.8% of the total of the 144 in that class) and 118 men (67.4% of the 175 traveling in that class)<\/strong>, in addition to one child (16.7% of the 6 who were in that class).<\/li>\n<li><strong>In second class, 13 women (14.4% of the 93 in that class) and 154 men (91.7% of 168) died.<\/strong> The 24 children who were in second class managed to survive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In third class, 89 women (53.9% of 165) and 387 men (83.8% of 462) died<\/strong>, as well as 52 children (65.8% of 79).<\/li>\n<li><strong>In total, 106 of the 402 women on board (26.4%) and 659 of the 805 men (81.9%) died<\/strong>, in addition to 53 of the 109 children (48 .6%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Of the 1,316 passengers on the ship, 818 died (62.2%)<\/strong>, a percentage that contrasts with the number of women killed in each of the ship's classes. The image of the young Leonardo DiCaprio putting Kate Winslet to safety on a board, at the cost of freezing to death in the cold waters of the Atlantic, was a fictional addition from the movie \"Titanic\" (1999) to the real story, but it symbolizes very well what happened in that and other shipwrecks. <strong>It is a situation that has occurred many times in history, but that gender feminism ignores simply because it spoils its anti-masculine discourse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>What would feminists do in the face of a shipwreck like that today?<\/big><\/p>\n<p>One wonders what would happen today if a similar situation occurred. <strong>Do you think any feminist would demand volunteers willing to drown for the sake of gender parity?<\/strong> Would they call men who wanted to save women before themselves \"sexist pigs\"? Throughout history, <strong>for any man it has been and is a great dishonor to try to save himself before a woman<\/strong>, especially if it is a person close to him. Women have always had preference. <strong>And this is what gender feminism today calls \"toxic masculinity\".<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the central ideas of gender feminism is that men oppress women, an oppression that would include abuse and murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10375],"tags":[10385,15875,11465],"class_list":["post-49913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history","tag-feminism","tag-mamela-fiallo","tag-rms-titanic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49913"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49913\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
