Best Answer

Many of the female passengers refused to leave the Titanic because they either thought it was wrong to leave the men or they were so devoted to their men that they wouldn't not leave them to die when they knew that this was exactly what would happen when they left. Many of the women believed it better to die WITH their men as well, instead of dying alone or leaving the men to die alone.

It was considered dishonourable for men to escape life-threatening situations while women and children were still endangered. The honourable thing was to see that the women and children reached safety before the men tried to save themselves.

No one thought that the Titanic could sink so they only but few life boats. When it crushed, only woman and children were allowed to get on life boats. Even one else (which was most of them) that didn't get on one know that they would eventually drown, so instead so jumping to they'er death, they satyed on the ship.

Women and children were loaded into lifeboats before men, but many married women didn't want to leave their husbands.

The water was about 20 degrees at the time. To cold to do anything.

Well, people stayed on the Titanic because there wasn't enough lifeboats. If you've read about it, you'd remember the the crew saying "women and children first."

If you were a passenger on the titanic what were you told?

Women and children first or get on your life boatsIf I was a passenger on the titanic I would probably be told, ABANDON SHIP!! ABANDON SHIP, YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DROWN IF YOU STAY ON BOARD!!!! Then, I would start running and pushing towards the nearest non-sinking boat. I would also drag along my boyfriend so we wouldn't end up like the couple in the movie Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. :0)
