Who is Captain Coward and what is the Law of the Sea? United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) makes no mention of women and children first. That phrase first appeared in 19th century literature (William Douglas O'Connor) and has no basis in maritime law. The procedure is 30 minutes to load passengers then boats away. The only firearm you are likely to see on a ship's captain is for repelling borders against pirates, not gunning down men whose survival instinct is stronger than their adherence to Victorian chivalry.
A king's first responsibility is to the kingdom not the veneration of his queen.Unless of course that queen is Galadriel after Frodo offers her the One Ring. Queens have historically been nothing more than a means of extending one's lineage. Otherwise what use was the for agnatic primogeniture or semi-salic law?
I haven't met too many women that enjoy being placed on a pedestal, never to be touched but always adored, like some porcelain doll. And the woman that "demands what is hers" sounds high maintenance.
Going out this weekend. I don't think, "I'm no cuckold; BUT I will be just in my rule over you," is likely to get me any phone numbers.
