[OC] Titanic Losses

Top comment on DataIsBeautiful is someone saying they thought the main disparity was class not gender.

Men’s sacrifice is washed over, they don’t want you to know how badly men have suffered and died over the course of history. They’ll tell you men have fought and killed, but the flip side of this - being that men have died horribly in incredibly large numbers throughout the whole of history - is never mentioned as a men’s issue.

Frankly if more women than men had died in the sinking of the titanic, we would have this tragedy drilled in to our brains from the age of 5 as evidence of how bad women have had it over the course of history. But since men died, “oh wow I thought it was more about the class disparity.”

Would like to see children divided by sex too in these stats

The oppressive patriarchy at work.

Men: 81% mortality rate Women: 26% mortality rate

Probably died helping women and children be saved, at least they made a memorial for the men who died, if it happened today the men would be called toxic.

It’d be interesting to know whether the men in this graph includes boys 12 and up since they were considered men at that age and were not allowed on the lifeboats.

Wow i thought this whole time every woman made it out

percentage wise, even the children got screwed to save the whamens!

Media must be sad to see that only 111 women survived.

I'm just going to repost my comment from when this was posted on /r/MGTOW earlier today:

I hate to go against the grain, but the Titanic was an aberration. In most maritime disasters with a significant loss of life, the crew and captain have the most chance of surviving. Followed by male passengers, female passengers, and finally children.

One example: when the ferry MS Estonia sunk in 1994, no children under the age of 12 survived. 5% of the women survived and 22% of the men survived. Among men aged 20-24, the survival rate was between 40-50%.

There was a study done regarding this back in 2012. It has a probably too small sample size (18 disasters were studied) and excludes wartime sinkings (with the exception of the Lusitania - probably because the authors wanted to compare it to the Titanic), but provides some interesting data.
