Women And Children First, Nature Demands This Principle Be Followed
I'm on the side of nature, not equity. Nature does not side with equity.
Once when I was nine on a river boat I was on began to sink. We were on an Amazon tributary between one river port and another, on the way to my grandmother. As the boat was unrecoverable the calls came out for 'women and children'. We were pushed onto a rubber lifeboat with one young and strong sailor. We survived, not all the men survived, although some did. My father did not.
Many years later I was in a discussion in my college class (in Brazil this craziness happens too) about this principle, women and children first. Why women and children first? I did not at that time announce myself. Why?
Because women can bear children and replace the one's lost. The children are the future and they cannot help save the boat. In time my mother bore more children to another man. One was a son, named after my father. In time, after I was past the years of education, I bore children to a man. Each male child was named for one of the men that were lost.
Nature doesn't play games, equity would have lost everyone, equity would not have provided for more children to be horn to replace the ones that were lost.
