What is so special about "women and children"?
)
January 23rd, 2020
The question comes from hearing two sayings that have “women and children” in them.
The first is one we probably all have heard before, but possibly never in an occasion when it was officially announced; when disembarking a sinking ship, the women and children may go first.
The second I hear every time a plane has crashed, or a ship has sunk, or a terrorist/war attack has been carried out; “120 people were killed, of which 80 were women and children”.
Now, women and children are very deer to my heart.
But why is it that they are apparently so special (my qualification) that they need extra attention/precedence?
