Girl, have you ever been on a ship? Or do you get all your info from fapping to Leo DiCaprio movies?

Your obsession with masturbating over the movie Titanic and Leonardo DiCaprio probably speaks volumes more of you than me. Very shallow of you, yet also very apt, considering the thread we're posting in.
I don't take my ques of maritime history from James Cameron's Titanic, no. Speaking of the subject, while I will not claim to be some expert on the matter of the Titanic, I did go to an exhibition about the famous ship some two or three years ago! There was a lot of memorabilia of the horrific incident being displayed, and I learned quite a lot of the circumstances leading up to White Star Line deciding to build the ship, what went wrong during the voyage (other than the obvious), as well as some details of the aftermath. The specifics regarding the rescue operation and the lack of boats on the ship were naturally well detailed, and I have no misconceptions over whatever it is that you're trying to lecture me on.
The most heartbreaking thing was to see just how many children died with the ship, by the way. The organizers had prepared a huge slab of ice with the cold temperature of the sea at the time of the accident, and boy was it cold: so cold, in fact, that it burned at the touch. That anyone had to die in complete despair while being drenched in that cold fire is harrowing, but the thought of small children doing so is just incredibly depressing.
So no, I don't fap to the Titanic. You'll have to try your luck elsewhere.
Also, the whole 'women and children first' thing was never because women expected to be saved, it was because men needed to show how big their dicks were and how dainty and frail women were. The "women and children first" as a rule is a total myth. It has no basis in actual maritime or other law it was more of a loose guideline, but it really had much more to do with removing the 'vulnerable' (i.e. helpless children and women) from the scene so the fit men could handle the emergency. This includes the elderly.
Titanic also did allow some elderly male passengers aboard lifeboats. Famously, Isador Straus was offered a space to accompany his wife, and refused it simply because he couldn't see himself taking a spot that could go to someone with much more life to live than him. And then his wife decided to stay on the ship with him.
But bringing it back around, I worked and lived on cruise ships for almost a decade. Women and children first literally does not exist.
Your whole autistic argument seems to center on de jure vs de facto. I've never claimed that it was some ironclad law that men would sacrifice themselves for women and children. I don't believe that even James Cameron's sensationalized version of events depicts this. If nothing else, the intense shaming of the men who did survive and returned home would probably have incentivized men to go down with the ship anyways. While this could be seen as toxic masculinity according to people like you, and while it's nothing short of disgusting that people like Masabumi Hosono got ostracized and shamed (despite having helped women and children get into the boats, even) for returning home, I can't help but think that it's quite nice for the society of yore to have at least ostensibly upheld such a strong code of honor among men, no matter how farcical you claim it to have been. No wonder the men of today may feel less driven to openly proclaim their willingness to help women and children, if all they're getting for their desire to do good are invectives over how they're obsessed with the size of their schlong, and how much they want to belittle stronk and capable women. Chivalry is dead, they say, but who killed it, and was it done just for the sake of revenge over the impressive and awe-inspiring dinguses men rock between their legs?
Good on Isidor Straus' wife, by the way. And good on ol' Isidor himself, most definitely.
At any rate, you are correct in that the code of conduct of "women and children first" has no basis in maritime law, but was rather a guideline, and that it encompassed the need to save the elderly as well. I've never claimed otherwise, and it doesn't oppose my initial comment which you decided to huff about.
The fact that you worked on a ship for some years doesn't seem to have made you any more aware of the by nature internalized gender roles of men and women. It's not rocket science, really. It's unsurprising though, given Current Year™, and the apparent need for people in this thread to overcorrect the creepniness of the incels by doubling down on pretty much everything they can think of that profess to stand in firm opposition of the incel mentality.
