“All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young children. All else is surplusage, excrescence, and adornment, luxury, or folly which can- and must- be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function. As racial (racial formerly used in place of species-as in ‘the human race’) survival is the only universal morality, no other basic is possible. Attempts to formulate a “perfect society” on any foundation other than “Woman and children first!” is not only witless, it is automatically genocidal. Nevertheless, starry-eyed idealists (all of them male) have tried endlessly- and no doubt will keep on trying’.” Robert A. Heinlein The Notebooks of Lazarus Long 2013
