Chivalry is dead:Man jumps out of way, leaving girlfriend to be hit in face by baseball


 
A couple attending a baseball match learned a little about each other - perhaps a little bit too much about each other - after a home run ended up hitting a woman in the face.

That would be unfortunate enough. What made it worse was that the ball was about to hit her boyfriend until he dived out of the way to leave her in the firing line.

The pair were at the match between the St Louis Cardinals and the Arizona Diamondbacks - and the Cardinals' Peter Kozma was busy doing his job and hitting the ball out of the park.

>

As the excitement died down and it emerged that the woman was not seriously hurt, the St Louis announcer Al Hrabosky summed things up: "Nice goin', boyfriend".

Maybe he read all about benevolent sexism at DU, and didn't want to be called a sexist pig for protecting his girl friend.  :-)

Seriously though, seeing the people who bitch and moan about women's right and equality, and bitch that men are sexist pigs when they treat women nicely are shocked that chivalry is dead?

Women should have the right to be hit by a baseball as men do......Right DUmmies?.....Right?....hey, if they have the same right to die on the battlefield as a male, what's a little tap on the head by a baseball?

75. She should be glad he respected her enough to not expose her to benevolent sexism.

After all, if he had protected her from the ball it would have been demeaning to her as a person. It would have been coddling and sending the message that she is inferior and can't catch or avoid a batted ball on her own.

Liberals have spent the last fifty years doing everything to destroy traditional values and social norms.  Why would they be surprised to find out that chivalry is dead when they've been trying to kill it since the Johnson administration?

Because they are low information people, they don't understand cause and effect.
They only understand the effect that they think their actions will have on their feelings.
For example banning guns would make them feel good. and make them feel that they made society safer. Yet if they got their way and saw crime go through the roof they would be wondering what happened. So they will dream up more feel good laws that don't do a damn thing. Rinse and repeat.

Feminists want equality when it is beneficial,end of story.

When it means they have to be equal in a relationship regarding who initiates,plans and pays then most suddenly claim to be old fashioned.

Suck on your entitled feeling. :cheersmate:

Did you see the guy at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati yesterday, who caught a home run ball (hit by the Washington Nationals' Jayson Werth) with his left hand while holding his two-year-old son with his right arm?  The kid didn't move a bit.  Heluva grab.

This is a trait that I have seen in 100% of all liberals. From the lowest of the base to the top of the progressive leadership. Liberal politicians have no clue about human nature and the havoc they create by their policies. Heck, they even get to campaign on the problems they are responsible for!

If you do something nice, it's sexism.

If you don't do anything at all, it's sexism.

Honestly, who cares? Human beings are driven by self-interest. I'm sure this couple honestly has better things to do then argue about the fact he didn't take a baseball to the face for her.

I would have too. It is unfortunate the woman was hit but it isn't his fault.

The idea he somehow dissed his girlfriend is ridiculous.

The same thing that makes him a presumed rapist until proven innocent.

Which is the same process as was used to determine if someone was a witch: create a test, such as will the water reject her body/will a woman step forward to accuse him of rape.

If the accused dies without rejection then they are deemed innocent.

Or he can be pro-abortion (read: liberation from fatherhood/child support) in which case he can rape as much as he wants, i.e. Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton.

First off, let's see how well you do with a ball heading towards you at 70-80 mph as it crosses the fence.  Even if it barely clears the wall it's still moving at a pretty good clip, much faster than your normal backyard game of catch.

While I grant you, most DU men have balls flying towards their faces all day, they're not made of leather and are much smaller and lighter and travel at far lower speeds than your average home run major league baseball.

FYI.
