"throwing like a girl" is a big statement. And unfortunately it is quite an offensive comment to make... Which, if I may say so my self should be a complement.  Because women are strong and can throw just as hard and or harder than men.

"throwing like a girl" is a big statement. And unfortunately it is quite an offensive comment to make... Which, if I may say so myself should be a complement.  Because women are strong, and can throw just as hard and or harder than any other man.  

As for my response to the essay, I was most definitely confused and yes, a little bit offended at the start of the essay. Being a good student, I continued to read the article and came to find out the article was more about how to throw and why women may throw differently than men. and it is not because women are weaker and cannot learn to throw. But, it's more of how we were all taught how to throw. Not because men are just stronger. It was also stated in the article that EVERYONE can learn how to throw the ball correctly. Which is a very true statement.

 As for my response to the essay, I was most definitely confused and yes, a little bit offended at the start of the essay. Being a good student, I continued to read the article and came to find out the article was more about how to throw and why women may throw differently than men. (This made me breathe a little lighter. I was scared that I would have to read through an article on how and why women can’t throw as hard as men do) It is not because women are weaker and cannot learn to throw. But, it's more of how we were all taught how to throw. Not because men are just stronger. It was also stated in the article that EVERYONE can learn how to throw the ball correctly. Which is a very true statement. The article stated the fact that in the end, women can throw just as hard as men do.

As for the layout of the article, I thought it was quite confusing and that it kind of just skipped around a lot. So, I got a couple of mixed feelings as for is this siding with women or just explaining why women "throw like a girl". Even though it was quite confusing at some parts and skipped around alot..... I like how he added the mechanics of throwing and that it's just how people were taught how to throw. And if taught right, everyone INCLUDING women CAN throw correctly and can even throw harder than men. Which is why the term "throwing like a girl" should be looked at like a complement instead of an insult.

I got a couple of mixed feelings as for is this siding with women…. or just explaining on why women "throw like a girl". Even though it was quite confusing at some parts of the article and skipped around a lot..... I like how the author added the mechanics of throwing, and that it's just how people were taught how to throw. And if taught right, everyone INCLUDING women CAN throw correctly and can even throw harder than men. Which is why the term "throwing like a girl" should be looked at as a complement instead of an insult. Remember… Girls are strong, and powerful and can do everything boys can do... even in high heels.
