You’re on the titanic. It has just hit an iceberg and is sinking. And, as last time, wholesale replica designer handbags, there are not enough lifeboats. The captain shouts, “Women and children first!” but this time, another voice is heard: “why women?”
Why, indeed? Part of the champ of the successful movie titanic are the period costumes, the period extravagance. And the period prejudices and audience can enjoy these at a distance. Oddly, however: of all the period attitudes in the film, the old maritime tradition of “women and children first” enjoys total acceptance by modern audiences. Listen to the audience boo at the bad guy who try to sneak on the lifeboats with or ahead or the ladies.
But is not grouping women with children a raging anachronism? Should not any self-respecting modern person, let alone feminist, object to it as insulting to women?
“Yes its usage is as common today as it was in 1912. Consider these examples taken almost at random from recent newspapers:
“The invaders gunned down the Indians, wholesale designer handbags, most of them women and children…
“As many as 200 civilians, most of them women and children, were killed…”
“At the massacre in amici 103 Muslims, including 22 women and children, were killed…”
At a time when women fly combat aircraft and run multinational corporations, how can one not wince when adult women are routinely classed with children? In amici, wholesale coach handbags, it seems, 70 adult men were killed. And how many adult women? Not clear. When things get serious, when blood starts to flow or ships start to sink, you’ll find them with the children.
