Sure children and disabled people need help but an able bodied woman should be as capable as an able bodied man to take care of herself and others that need it.
Like when that US Airways plane fell at the Hudson river, people were hampering attempts at evacuating the plane because the people in the plane tried to take out the women and children first trying to push them through a crowd taking a longer time than it would to just evacuate the people through the doors in an orderly fashion.
Then there's the fact that some of the men wouldn't leave the plane unless the female cabin crew members (who are trained to get people out as soon as possible in these type of emergencies) left and it made things difficult for everyone.
When it's just letting a women go in first in a car or a house, then it's fine.
