Here it is:
Now I'm not a Feminist, so I wanted to kind of, talk a little about something. I don't plan on this being very long, but we'll see what happens.
I basically want to quickly address the whole "Women and children before men". Growing up, I was used to this 'mentality' if you will. And I thought this was kind of, 'common knowledge', or I would think of it as, the youngest should deserve to live more, because the older people have had a chance to live already. But putting all that aside, I got to thinking. If say, the world were to end, and we all knew this beyond a shadow of a doubt, but we were able to save a percentage of the population... How would we go about this? I'm sure most of you are thinking, 'well, save the women and the children!' But... Think of it this way. If we wanted out 'race/species' to survive... We need more than just women and children. We need men. We need a whole variety of people. Why? because, we need old and young, strong and wise. Men are generally stronger than women, just because of their anatomy. We can't expect women to take the place of men, nor can we really expect boys to take the place of men. And I'm not saying men are only good for their strength, I'm just trying to think of this in the sense of every thing becoming primitive. (because after all, the world ended and we're having to start anew from something we are not accustomed to.) So just as females cannot take the place of males, males cannot take the place of females.
We would need some women to take care of the young, and some men to take care of the young, just as we would need some women to teach those who are old enough to be taught. Woman can teach things that perhaps men are not as good as teaching. And just the same, we would need men also, to teach, and to 'train'. If we were to expect our race/species to succeed, we are going to need people of all different genders, colours, beliefs, sexual orientations, and all of that. And you may be thinking "Well, if you have children, then one day the boys will turn into men, so why would we need men to start with?" Well, that would be like saying, if we just have children, then why would we need women either? Seeing as the girls would turn into women as well. But we need older people in order to teach the younger people. We need women, children AND men. Men are just as important as women. Men and women are two sides of the same coin.
I may not explained my self as well as I intended to, so hopefully the most of you understand the point I'm trying to get across.
If not, here is a video for you:
