    There are a few key differences

    1) It was safe
    2) It was state sponsored/organized
    3) It wasn't a civil war

    The UK didn't expect its own citizens, if they weren't mothers and children, to be safeguarded from danger. Why should men be expected to lead the way to safety now? If the EU can only absorb so many refugees at a time, and the issue really is about protecting helpless families, one would have thought the menfolk would be willing to let the women and children fill the quota, rather than make up over half the numbers as they currently do.
