If a woman made it to the MLB would she be hated by the players?

Question

Many doubt a woman will ever make it into MLB.  But if one did, do believe that she would be hated and ostracized like Jackie Robinson or are men more evolved now?  Although it's 2018 and you would expect something like that may happen,  I often wonder if the other players would object and treat her badly.

Some would, some wouldn't. There are over 1000 players in MLB. They are mixed of all types. Not everyone was against Jackie Robinson either.

Some would, others would not, if she was there based on ability I don't think that most would, if she was there as a publicity stunt- like the Mets bringing up Tim Tebow, they would.

Her teammates would "probably" support her, but other teams would probably be subtly hostile.

On the outside they would all root for her.  Behind closed doors would be a different story.  It'll never happen though, as the body of a female just isn't designed to do what a professional MLBer can do.  Far to many guys in the minors to give a chance first.

There’s no reason why men shouldn’t object and treat her badly. Women have no right to associate with non-consenting persons against their will.

Women view ball busting as hate. They can't handle friendly banter from men.
