/// You know as well as I do, that in terms of occupying lifeboats on a sinking ship, women and children go first because men are physically stronger, and more able to survive in open water. ///

Didn't a British woman recently spend 10 hours in the Adriatic Sea at night, after falling from a cruise ship? //

OK, if you really need it spelling out (and I suspect you are simply spinning your wheels as your argument is dismantled in from of you)


In the times when men were asked to allow women and children to board lifeboats first (it no longer applies because maritime laws requires a lifeboat place for every person on board) - the general perception was that women were the 'weaker sex' and men would have a better chance of survival in the water, combined with the perception that fathers dying and leaving children with mothers alive was preferable to the other way around, and children had their lives ahead of them, and should be given a greater chance of survival.

OK - are we done time-wasting now?

I don't know about 'scraped' into the top of the barrel, but I did look in from the top and found that others had scraped down to the very bottom.

/// Men wouldn't allow women to fight in the wars, AOG... ///

Just shows how protective males are towards the female of the species … //

Is that when they are busy being 'second class citizens' when lifeboat spaces are being doled out?

Make your mind up!!!

Aye, I ken a puckle of Clangers and think I met the soup dragon

We had to - that's where your arguments are!

// a woman could jump from a great height and not injure themselves, never mind keeping afloat in the water. //
And you claim to be intelligent!!

You referred to Jack as ' the likes of you' and I'M the offensive one. Come on AOG, this faux victimhood you tend to wear doesn't suit you.

[Spicerack]

Yet another stupid woman, sigh.

[Mamyalynne]

Steg, I'm related to the Soup Dragon.

I worked with a lady whose husband was a moon man - we knew when a full moon was due - she wore dark glasses to hide the bruises.

[Zacs-Master]

I see the thread hasn't become any more sensible.

[Mamyalynne]

Me?

I meant what I said.

And if you knew anything of physics, of course your legs would not be able to stand the weight of drenched fabric.

But if you placed a large amount of fabric in water it would float.

No AOG it really doesn't, I can't believe you actually think that? Have you never tried to swim in any clothing ( life saving awards etc)?
