    When someone says 'all women' are "feminists" who think 'in the way I think they do', they aren't likely to acknowledge the reality that proves them wrong

    asking a feminist if they think Women should go first while on shore /= asking a feminist if they think women should go first when they are on a sinking boat.

    it had enough boats, but 1/2 were useless due to them not being able to reach the water.

    That is simply not true. The Titanic had 20 lifeboats with a capacity of about 1800 people total and it carried over 2200 people on board. In fact the Titanic disaster changed the law about numbers of lifeboats. It wasn't that 1/2 weren't used, some weren't, but there were too few and some left without being near capacity.

    fancy knowledge to distract away from feminazi's wouldn't have avoided the liferaft when they are faced with life or death philosophy checks

    and that's fine. But you can't demand equality in one instance... and then claim preferential treatment in another whenever it's convenient.

    I hope nobody is such a hypocrite. I dont think that anything in the feminist movement is built on such a premise.

    There aren't any because most feminists weigh more than the ship and would've sunk long before it did, lmao

    hope all you want... but put a feminist on a sinking ship and then ask the question "women and children first? " and see how many argue that you aren't treating the equal to men....

    how is this different from the 'no atheists in foxholes" canard?

    your detection of future possible hypothetical hypocrisy is worth how much, do you think?

    it's different because you can see hypocrasy with no feminists on a sinking ship. you can't see an atheists beliefs getting tested. But when feminazi jumps on that liferaft without hesitation .... it's pretty clear

    I think both happen, the atheist in the foxhole, the feminist on the ship.... you're trying to get off on the fact I technically can't see an athiest's prayer....

    I believe EVERYONE'S faith is tested as they lie on a deathbed. (I realize not everyone gets the chance to die on a deathbed though but anyone that knows they are about to die and has time to contemplate things is the point) People have no problems, while healthy, thinks hedging your bets is bad and God is a meany by saying "Love me or burn in Hell" and that you would NEVER worship a God that demanded that..... but when you're laying there, with family beside you and you realize, this is probably it..... do you still risk eternity? And you think.... even if I'm wrong, what do I truly lose if I do accept God?


    Now, I'm jsut as sure, that many will still not accept religion, even in that situation.... There are many atheists who won't pray no matter what.... but there is no way you can tell me they don't question their belief systems when faced with death.

    Ok, there is a situation that you nor I will ever test, and, the supposed detection of hypothetical future hypocrisy on the part of an ill defined person or persons seems a pointless exercise, to me.
    Carry on if it entertains you.
    Perhaps what a self-styled machoist would do if he can save himself or two muslim kids.
