today they released women and children, the men remained - seems acceptable
if they released the men (only) two things would have happened:
1 - the men would have stayed, they would not abandon thier families         
2 - any men that did leave would be ridiculed on the morning news (probably
    by faith d. or some other perfectly manicured female)

dire situtations tend to remove most of the social vails (like equality).
equality (for women) still means (and most men will tell you this):
1. if it benifits me, treat me as an equal.
2. if it doesn't benifit me, don't treat me as equal - treat be better
3. if I'm not equal, but it benifits me - you're obviously discriminating.
