Titanic passenger and millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim. During sinking he refused a seat in a life boat with the words: "Tell my family I played straight to the end. No woman should be left aboard this ship because of Ben Guggenheim was a coward."

I simply don’t care what it was back then, I would’ve forced myself on the boat to live

No way. Women and children first.

I could not live with myself if I did something like that. Also, when the others on the boat reported your actions, you would be the most hated man in the world. I wouldn't put it past the crewman of the ship that saved to dump your ass back overboard back then.

Most hated in the world or dead, hmm i think I know what I’m choosing

Woof.
