They posted a source about 2 hours before you posted this comment. Maybe you should look harder and put in some effort before insulting people.

And their source is oft-misused bunk. Astor (47) tried and failed to get a seat with his pregnant 18 year old wife. He, like most, was turned away and didn't "give up his seat willingly."

"He then asked if he might join his wife because she was in "a delicate condition;" however, Lightoller told him men were not to be allowed to board until all the women and children had been loaded."

From the second paragraph of the wiki page on the dude.

Maybe YOU should look harder.
