Woman saves man??? Try searching yourself. Pretty sparse. Wouldn't equality mean that women should be saving men at roughly half the amount? Most of these were by bystanders, not by professional police or firefighters (which would account for some of the percentage difference if it were just that).

So maybe we can dispense with the falsehood that men don't bear the brunt of sacrificing themselves to protect women. They always have and they still do. And no, that is NOT a privilege, it is a responsibility and done out of the kind of masculine caring and protecting that represents one of the best aspects of manhood.
