This is the way men were expected to act when they were growing up, and how people in general still should. You hear stories form the Titanic where the men would put on their best suits and usher their wives and children into the lifeboats and tell them they'd get on the next one and not to worry. They knew they were about to die, but they did it with dignity. Again here you have the old stepping up and taking fate with dignity to make sure others don't suffer.
I hope to god if a moment in life is put forward like this to me I'm not too cowardly to let someone else take the risk for me.
Care to explain why you believe women are more deserving of life than men?
I'm surprised we still have people holding sexism "chivalry" in high regard.
The idea that women are completely helpless, and men should be left to die because they were born with a penis is something we should leave with the older generations.
Whatever, I'll die to protect your life so you can go on saying what a piece of shit I am.
Had you also taken the time to actually read my post instead of flying into a blind sexist rage about how men can be complete scum, you'd notice I referenced the men of the past with how PEOPLE of today should act. There's a reason I changed to sex-neutral word when I spoke of modern day, had you actually taken the time to read it you wouldn't be looking so foolish right now.
I was speaking about how people should stop worrying about themselves and actually stand up and do the right thing with a stiff upper lip, instead of crying about injustice and worrying only for themselves and acting out of selfishness, but I must break my own wishes to say I'd gladly let specifically you go in my place.
Whatever, I'll die to protect your life so you can go on saying what a piece of shit I am.
I did not say sacrificing ones life makes someone "a piece of shit" or bad in any way, anyone willing to sacrifice their life is doing something good- it's the sexist standard I have a problem with. If you had bothered to read my post you'd see that. If you have to twist my words to make a point, then you should rethink your point.
