Confirmed: Chivalry is dead

Chivarly’s not quite dead, but almost. Were it dead, the announcers wouldn’t have commented, noticed, cared. They pretty much raked this jerk over the coals, as far as MLB broadcasts go.

Also, I agree with RalphyBoy. This kid has his fifteen minutes of fame–and they’re pathetic. What a sad thing to overcome.

A culture that pretends male and female roles are interchangeable, that boys should play with dolls and not engage in “violent” play like cops and robbers, that normal boys should be on Ritalin, and that males need “sensitivity training” for anything is a society that ends up with males who see no point to anything besides self-preservation, and may not even have that.

Males do benefit from “sensitivity training”, but not in the board room. They should learn this in the context of a loving relationship with their parents first: Dad bops them upside the head if they backtalk their mother. Later, they become sensitive as they hope to win the heart of a woman, and figure out she’s not receptive if he’s a lout.

But men also need a place where they can be, well…men. Not insensitive, necessarily, but man-like. And those environments are dwindling, because women have stuck their noses in nearly every single one, whining until we could be included in the softball leagues and the pool halls and every other male-dominated arena you can think of. So we expect men to be “sensitive” everywhere they go, and then when they become beta, women wonder where all the “real men” have gone.

The older I get, the more I deplore what the “women’s movement” has done to our society.
