You must keep in mind the mentality of the time. The mobs were the greatest danger. Then as now the slobs must not be allowed to make their own decisions let alone for a country. They are to be feared and controlled one way or another.

Of the 20% who were men 2% were ships crew in charge of lifeboat safety…the other 18 % percent were shyster lawyers busy writing up law-suits who forced there way on the life boats….

So how much of the 20% of men and 75% of the women were of the crew?

Doubt that many men would put women first today. Shame.

During those horrid sexist times, most men remained on board as the women and children got onto the lifeboats.

The reason that so few men survived was because they refused to ask for directions to the lifeboats.

If 75 percent of the women and 20 percent of the men survived, does that mean that the other 5 percent was made up of the vermin infestation.
