Yes, this was true. The officers, in asking Captain Smith about getting the women and children to the boats, the captain acknowledged the question. However, they interpreted his response to mean either "women and children first", or "women and children only". So, on one side lifeboats were lowered if there were no women and children nearby, while on the other side, only a small amount of men were allowed on board if all the nearby women and children are already on board. As a consequence, 82% of the males on Titanic died.
of corse! the women and children were the only ones aloud on the life boats!
the women and children where loaded onto the lifeboats first and the men all waited to last and some of te first class men went in the last few life boats.
Muslim women are allowed to address men, women and children.

No, women were not allowed to watch. THey would be severly beaten. This is because the men wore no clothes (O_O) kinda scary... Only boy children were allowed to watch,
A role that ethics played in the Titanic story would have been the selection of passengers for the lifeboats (and how they were inconsistent). Murdochs policy was 'women and children first'. Lightoller's was 'women and children ONLY' - until only the collapsibles were left and all the women seemed to be gone. Which is why him, Bride, and Gracie were on boat B.
more men died because the only had a limited supply of lifeboats so they let the women and children aboard the life boats first so by the time women and children were boarding the life boats the titanic sank leaving many men still on board
There were different criteria among the officers while loading passengers onto boats. Murdochs policy was 'women and children first'. Lightoller's was 'women and children ONLY' - until only the collapsibles were left and all the women seemed to be gone. Which is why him, Bride, and Gracie were on overturned boat B
No, there were only 20 lifeboats.
Because Hera isn't allowed to cheat on Zeus only he can women back then weren't allowed to cheat on their husbands except Aphrodite.
Mainly because of chivalry. Manners were much more formal in the early 20 century and the men thought it best to care care of the women and children before themselves. The saying "women and children first" is known as the Birkinhead drill after a fanous incident in 1852 when the troopship HMS Birkinhead foundered near Cape Town, South Africa. There was not enough lifeboats for the troops and their families so the soldiers stood firm and allowed the women and children to go first.
