When this sort of thing happens to you, you know.

Four Grinnell College students out for a run Tuesday were caught outside in a hail storm and had to be taken to the hospital. … The student told Crawford that he, another man and two women tried to hide in a ditch when the storm hit, but they were forced to seek shelter when the hail became too intense. … Storm spotters in the area reported 1 to 1.5 inch hail.
Ouch.
The “chivalrous” part of me hopes that while the menfolk may be all beat to hell, they threw themselves atop the womenfolk and protected them. But then I try to imagine how I would have responded to getting battered by hail like that, and I can’t come up with a situation that doesn’t involve a lot of hysterics and high-pitched screaming.

Yeah. Let’s see a picture of the women’s bodies. We gotta know whether or not the men protected the women.
This is Grinnell. I have a friend who did his undergraduate there (he was even a runner), and it is a hippie college of the first order. About the rarest species of humanity at that school is probably exactly the type of chivalrous male you describe.
