It is common to hear the expression 'ladies first'. Women, in particular, daily repeat it as if it were a rule. They actually feel proud of it, unknowing its origin and its real indications. They think it is praise to them, while it is a shame to be said according to its origin.
The story of this saying took place in Italy. It is about two lovers who loved each other so much. They decided to marry. But some social circumstances and relatives blocked the way of their marriage. They did not accept this and intentionally decided either to live together as husband and wife, or to die together.
Having done best to achieve the marriage, they got disappointed. Dying together was the only option. They thought about a number of ways to commit suicide.
Throwing themselves into the sea was the appropriate way to them. The man sincerely said he would not bear the situation of seeing her drowning to death in front of his eyes. He convinced his beloved that he would throw himself first and then she would do so next.
In the twinkle of an eye, the man did it and drowned. The lady was looking at him as if he was 'singing'. The man was dead. It was the lady's turn to follow him to live together underneath, as they had decided. But she soon broke her promise, forgetting her sweetheart who was dying in front of her eyes and in heart as well.
She 'threw herself back to the village'. Yes! Her promise was to throw herself. And she did, but to the village instead of the sea.
She came back home, to her relatives as if nothing had happened. Few days later, she fell in love with another man. She was happy with him as if it were her first love. It did not take a lot of time till she got married to him.
Since then, people started doubting ladies and started repeating the saying 'ladies first', with the implication that ladies should throw themselves into the sea first, should die first, because they are not trustworthy.
