Men who don't deserve bravery award, but the women in the same situation do

Fred Nile believes that men who run to safety leaving women behind don't deserve bravery awards, but imply that women in fact do.

Whilst I do agree with the fundamental point that simply being in a life threatening situation isn't an achievement, his implication that ONLY the men should be denied this because it's their pre-determined gender duty is out-dated and insulting.

I'll bet that Fred Nile would be happy for all of the males on a sinking ship to drown before a single woman does.  I know that I wouldn't want a male relative to be near him in any life-threatening situation as he'd probably shame them into getting themselves killed for women they've never met before.

Do the men who have children at home have a higher 'right to life' than single childless men or are we all just as disposable?

Remember children, in the eyes of people like Mr Niles girls are worth more than boys and men only exist to serve and protect women and children and are otherwise completely expendable.

Update:  Apparently the only real man in the Lindt cafe was the man to wrestle with the gunman, where Fred Nile goes on to basically shame all of the other men for not putting their own lives on the line for women they've never met.  Many may agree with Fred Nile, but remember that for everyone who wants equality of the sexes in every aspect of life, there is a Fred Nile who believes that men should still die protecting any women they happen to be sitting next to in a cafe.  So does Fred believe that women should have any obligations of any kind in his world, or is it just the men?
