Let us use our hatred of AWFL Karens as a balm to soothe us.

Curveball alert.

An angry Phillies fan sparked outrage after she was captured bullying a father into handing over a home run ball that he had given to his young son, who was celebrating his birthday.

At least six fans raced into an empty row of the blue seats to try and snatch the ball before the father, wearing a red Phillies t-shirt, sprinted to the area and secured the prized souvenir.

The dad then walked back to where his family was sitting, approximately five seats away, and handed the ball to his ecstatic son, identified by the Phillies as Lincoln.

But a gray-haired Phillies fan, who failed to grab the ball in front of her seat, was not going to let the moment slip through her fingers.

The Karen thinks that just because she was seated in the area where the ball fell, that means that it's hers, and that no one is allowed to run over to scoop it up.

I heard about this story from Ethan Van Sciver, who goes to about half of all Philly games. He says no, everyone in the park understands that every ball is up for grabs and that you can't call "dibs." There is no "dibs" in competition.

The only "dibs" there is is that it's there's a sense -- but not a rule -- that if you beat out a little kid for the ball, maybe you should give the ball to the kid. But that's a Nice Thing to Do, not a Required Thing to Do.

And going by that semi-rule-- the Karen should have let the little kid have the ball.

Seconds after the father gave his son the ball, the woman grabbed the startled father's shoulder and berated him over to stake a claim to it.

"You took it from me. It was in my hand," the woman claimed, according to fan-recorded footage.

The two fans exchanged some words as both pointed to where the ball was picked up.

After a few seconds of a verbal dispute, the father shockingly grabbed the ball from his son's glove and handed it over to the woman, who furiously returned to her seat.

Lincoln, however, received support from the Phillies and Marlins following the unfortunate encounter.

A Marlins representative apologized and gifted the boy a prize pack, which consisted of various gifts, including baseballs for him and his sister, who was seated next to him during the game.

"We brought you a cool little goodie bag," the representative told Lincoln as she handed him a plastic bag with lots of gifts inside, according to a video posted on X.

The crowd cheered as the representative continued to apologize to Lincoln.

After the game, Bader invited Lincoln to meet up, where he gifted the fan with a signed bat and the team revealed that it was the boy's birthday on Friday.

So, a big problem with Stronk Empowered Women is that they are aggressive and seek to impose their wills on men, without knowing the code men have worked out to keep disputes from becoming violent. Like, men know there are limits to how much they can bully other men -- how much they can seek to impose their will on other men and subordinate them and humiliate them -- before things will take a violent turn.

But AWFL Karens are instructed that they must always seek to dominate men through bullying. They are trained to have the masculine instinct to bully and subordinate other people -- but without the ethical and prudential learning about the limits of bullying (and implied violence) that actual men are taught, by both society and practical experience.

AWFL Feminist Pink-Hairs are all gas, no brakes, and they push people around because men are taught since they are children to be kind and gentle with women -- even women who are physically aggressive and seek to dominate strangers as if they were antisocial male thugs.

The Karen believes that if the ball is hit to her section, she has dibs on the ball. It doesn't matter that she never caught the ball or picked up the ball. She had dibs! She's a Stronk Empowered Female and that means she will not actually do anything to get the ball except harass the kid who wound up with the ball until he succumbs to her Karen Power.

Here's what life used to be like, before malignant Karens destroyed civilization:
