The phrase "although in reality more first class men survived than third class women" is misleading. Statistics on http://www.anesi.com/titanic.htm show that "third class women were 41% more likely to survive than first class men," where the percentage of men saved from all classes was much lower than the percentage of women and children saved.

So no attention's going to be played to the feminist viewpoints on this degrading and patronizing practice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.125.29 (talk) 00:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
