"You throw like a girl"

[spazzdla]

Apparently this is offensive to women and they are actually amazing at sports.

Then I asked 100 women to throw a ball.. and only 5 of them went farther than 5 feet..

The truth is true..  when someone throws something and it goes 5 feet they throw like a girl.

But then they also need a good incentive lol like being really angry at you. xD

Mythbusters tested this in one of their episodes and found out that it's not true. Boys are usually better because they are trained from a young age and girls aren't, but when using their left hands, both were equally good.

So there are no physiological differences between males and females?

I hate when groups get offended over jokes, makes me walk around on eggshells just cuz I'm worried what I say will offend someone.  I like to make jokes, I rarely mean anything by them.  Men are better at sports, it's just a fact.  We've physically evolved toward being stronger/ more athletic.  Sure there are some exceptions, but it's mostly dominated by males.  Why can't people (women) just accept that?

There are, but in the Mythbusters episode, they saw that it wasn't that much of a difference. Men threw a little further and women had more accuracy.

Well, I guess we have New Age feminism to blame

Throw like a girl means hinging at the elbow and not rotating the arm about the shoulder.

Its the difference between throwing an American football or a baseball.

Try throwing a baseball with a football style and of course it wont go very far.

Most people will "throw like a girl" if they were never instructed on how to properly use the entire arm.

It is not as simple to learn as you might think. I played baseball for many years, I couldn't pitch worth shit. I also played football and I could throw a football a lot easier.
