[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1762626, member: 42782"] I read this whole thing. I am new here, but I'll go aheadand brave the flames. What is the matter with you people ganging up and insulting a person like that? A person is allowed in the United States of America to have an opinion. Cowgirl8 is a working ranch woman, not some keyboard Karen typing in suburbia. She is not joining PETA, going to demonstrations or pouring paint on people's fur coats. She simply said she does not like calf roping as a competative money paying sport because to her it seems cruel. Sure roping is sometimes necessary to doctor sick cattle and calves or ID stock in the real world, She said that, nothing wrong with her expressing her opinion. But most people ease up and let a sick calf go forward instead of busting them roughly at the end of a rope in a timed event. Whatever happend to western cowboy chivalry? I know it still exists. My husband has it. Cowboy chivalry came from the Mexican caballeros. For instance, one time back when my husband and I were friends, and we were friends for 40 years before we were married, we went to a bull sale in west Texas. We were walking around the arena looking at the bulls that would be in the sale. A tall cowboy that Jarad knew came over. Jarad introduced me and the man lifted his hat but did not look directly at me. They had a conversation and the cowboy turned to leave and lifted his hat to me again but did not glance my way. I asked Jarad Why did he not look at me? Its like he did not see me. He said Oh he was looking at you alright. He was looking at you all over with his peripheral vision. But it is not considered polite to look at another man's woman especially if she is good looking. Cowboys are polite and always help anyone who needs help, even strangers. This is western chivalry, they don't insult women with differing opinions. They say OK mam, have a nice day and walk off. [/QUOTE]
