What prejudice? He just wanted baseball players and didn't know women's baseball teams were a thing. They weren't that common back then. Edit: this story is from around 1918 or earlier if I recall correctly.

[@triciawhite8706]

@@sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287 Sexism isn't about good or bad people. It's about an unfair system that society follows. He was first wrapped up in societal expectations based on sex. Casey always was a good person but he fell into the trap of believing girls can't play baseball. Once he was showed otherwise, he made his girls a baseball team. He progressed as a person. Just because someone had a negative trait or made a mistake doesn't mean they are bad people. He was just by definition sexist. But I'm not going to whine about him being terrible either. He's just nuanced.

[@sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287]

@@triciawhite8706 Dude, it was 1918. Expecting there not to be any sort of established baseball teams already for women back then is by no means sexist on his part just an assumption based on the general trends of the day. What good would forming a baseball team with only his girls do if there wasn't already other teams of girls willing and able to compete against them? He knows they wouldn't be allowed to complete against the boy teams as it was against the rules. It's completely rational that he jumped to the assumption he did. That doesn't make him sexist. He didn't doubt for a second that they would make a great team once he found out there were other girls' teams and an organization set up for it. In real life, there wasn't any professional women's baseball teams until the 40s. There were rarely any neighborhood teams for girls. The fact he even considered to let his daughters do "ungirly" things like play baseball without criticism let alone go all out in encouraging it is unusual for the time period.

[@triciawhite8706]

Exactly. It was 1918. This was unheard of and because of societal prejudice, he didn't think girls could play the game professionally. I'm not even saying it is a bad story. It's a good one that deals a positive message for second wave feminism written in a time when first wave was still underway. Why are you so defensive over a positive review. Acknowledging sexism exists isn't a bad thing. I'm not even hanging h im for it. I just said that he got over it.

More an issue of spite. If Casey somehow can keep a roof and provide for his wife and NINE daughters, he's got to be making some BANK. Especially that he apparently can own or lease even the dilapidated "Mudville Nine" ballpark and, when his girls baseball team takes off, rehabilitate it. The doctor simply performed his services, probably because he knew that the retired slugger was a cantankerous SOB, out of pity for Mrs. Casey, but the short shows he was shocked to be paid in full.

Jaume Pepe ...... how about this: men can complain about how feminists will miss how the girls are good at baseball and still enjoy traditionally feminine things, and still miss the point of how the girls were worthless until the dad could profit off of them. This isn't about 'can girls do X'. Girls always could do anything they put their mind to, it's how they're treated for existing that is the problem.

[@maxima13broly]

Dexterdamonkey The sense of victimhood is what makes a woman worthless, which is why only femenist can marry themselves. You can not blame a man for being a man. Only in fairy tales would a woman be equal to a man and achieve "whatever she sets her mind on"

[@ariesthefool]

The fact the father is trying to profit is mostly his fault, he nearly throws the whole game because he doubted his daughters. if anything this should be a perfect example of a 1950's cartoon supporting woman's equality.

[@welcometogreenaquasglen1846]

I love how they showed the girls in dresses and flowers. This is an idea I think people are getting their heads around, that girls can play sports just as well as boys and still be pretty and feminie.

[@loganw1232]

Yeah, now if a girl shows interest in traditionally male stuff,….in some ways we are more sexist than the 1950s.

[@TND12]

Let me add a question to ur little post so if women can play as good as men why arent they competing against each other ?

[@selfdo]

Give the Caseys THIS...they raised their nine girls to be LADIES. Who were obviously natural athletes, but still LADIES.

[@selfdo]

@@TND12 Even in baseball, presumably NOT a "contact" sport (and don't get me started on how the game is getting "wimpified"), men simply have a physical advantage, due to typically greater upper body strength. The underhand pitching delivery mandated in softball is not allowed in baseball, one of the several differences. Female softballers typically "pitch" from their hips, which plays to their strength and balance. But in terms of typical overhand throwing and batting, let alone in anything that does involve physical contact, like a runner sliding into home, blocked by the catcher, females are at a HUGE disadvantage versus males. If a young woman ever breaks into the professional ranks, it'll likely be as a pitcher, and a "junkballer" at that. Since the DH is now universal, her batting ability would be moot. However, I'll wager that women players, taught to BUNT, might actually be BETTER at it, as their ability to focus on a particular task is often better at a young age than men.

[@tobybartels8426]

At 3:40, the film acknowledges this, with reference to Casey's ‘batting’.

[@sockruhtease]

Well technically it is the males gene that determine whether or not the offspring receives a "X" or a "Y" chromosome, but I get what your saying. I think blaming dad or the baby on the gender is quite stupid- as ultimately neither have control of that

[@warasdf6716]

(If anyone’s wondering how that is, eggs only contain the X chromosome, and sperm can contain either X or Y. Thus when combined, the resulting child is either XX for female, or XY for male)

[@Cinedragon]

@@sockruhtease I'd like to add an interesting, but random titbit: Not sure if it crocodiles or alligators or both. But they can control the gender of their offspring based on the temperature of the nest. I find this stuff pretty fascinating.

I had two children. A girl and a boy. But it was the girl who was mechanical. Who helped me around the farm. She was the one who went camping. And had no trouble with the rough and tumble of rural life. We are all individual and all have a mixture of "male" and "female" characteristics. Just because someone is a girl doesn't mean they are into makeup and other traditional actions. And just because someone is a boy doesn't make them interested in violence and aggression. Enjoy whatever you are lucky enough to have.

[@alphajackal6648]

And just as importantly, don't expect anyone to be exceptional if they're breaking gender norms. Whether or not the Caseys were good at baseball shouldn't factor into if they were allowed to participate and enjoy it. Too often people will gatekeep based on heteronormative attributes until someone proves they're 'just as good' when it shouldn't matter.
