Deaths on The Titanic.

 Only 20% of the men on board survived, compared to 74.35% of the women.

This was not an unusual ratio. Men were expected to surrender their lives in a crisis to save women and children.

In these days of equality - can women reasonably retain the expectation that men should die in their stead?

I pose this as a question because I do not know the answer in a secular sense.

The Scriptures, however, are clear:

New International Version. Ephesians 5:25.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."
