Like I said, it’s not about deserving more. If you are in middle of a war and you can save the general or the great philosopher, you save the general, not because he’s a better person or deserves more, but because in the current situation you need him more. Men may not deserve anything more than women, and that doesn’t contradict a halacha that says save them first, because the halacha determined that a man is more necessary for the general survival of our culture/social standard than a women.
