Traditionally, women and children were saved first. On the Titanic, it depended on which side of the ship you were on. Deck officer Charles Lightoller was stationed on the port side, and he kept to this tradition. He took great pains to make sure no men got on board the lifeboats while there were still women and children around, even going so far as to fire warning shots into the air.

Officer William Murdoch, however, was a different story. He was stationed on the starboard side, and he let on anyone who was present, regardless of age, sex, or class.
