Is the directive, "women and children first" fair and useful?

Asked by Aster (20023points) March 2nd, 2012

The old law of the sea, “women and children first” was observed for many decades. Do you think it’s unfair to the male sex and , if so, why? What is more valuable about women that they should first be rescued? Or is it outdated?
