Although you are correct that our culture is rapidly being feminized, neither this event nor the reaction to it serves as an example of that feminization.
As you said, this is women's sports. This is college softball. This is girls being girls, doing what girls do.
Now, if this were about college baseball players (men), then this would be yet another example of our culture going down the toilet. If (when) boys start acting like this—when that happens and people are gushing all over it—... just shoot me.
Yes, but today, in this day and age, especially with Title IX, we're instructed to believe that women's sports are in no way different from men's sports; that competition between men and competition between women is essentially the same; that we should celebrate female athletes---and their inherent qualities---in the same way that we should celebrate male athletes, as if the only difference between the two was the plumbing. In that regard, all of us are supposed to look upon this story as something noble and triumphant; that any athlete should do this for another athlete, as if what this team did for their opponent was the pinnacle of sports itself.
