Comment on When you hear “run like a girl” or “throw like a girl,” what do you imagine?

I never heard run like a girl but “throw like a girl” meant when I was young throwing with just your arm so it’s like a pushing motion almost. Like how 4 to 5 year olds throw before they learn to use their core and hips.

Yeah it’s really “throwing like a person that hasn’t been taught how to throw”

Yeah, it’s obviously a sexist taunt but really it’s a reflection on where our society values athletic instruction
