ELEVEN people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter – ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided one had to leave otherwise they would all fall. They weren’t able to choose that person until the woman gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return. As soon as she finished her speech all the men started clapping… Think about it.
