Response to "Throwing Like a Girl"

"Throwing Like a Girl"

"Throwing Like a Girl" by James Fallows was a very interesting piece. My views of the saying "throwing like a girl" changed after I read this article. I did not realize how offensive this term was to women around the world.

Before reading this article I thought throwing like a girl was not that offensive and was just an old saying. I now realize that this term is making fun of women everywhere. Well it is scientifically proven that men are generally stronger and more athletic than women this is DEFINITELY not always the case. There are many women that are far more athletic than most males.

Fallows described what people mean when they say that someone was throwing like a girl. All young boys dreaded hearing those words because it meant that you could not throw very well. There are obviously many women today that can throw a baseball (or football for that matter) very well. This term is very sexist and should not be used.

My Playlist, My Self

My Five Favorite Songs that Describe Me

1.Forever by Drake 

2.Heart of a champion by Nelly

3. Ride by Twenty One Pilots 

4.Opposite of adults by Chiddy Bang 

5.Survival by Eminem

I would say that each song means something different to me. First, “Forever” by Drake is a very deep song to me. It shows me that even if everybody doubts me and thinks that I cannot accomplish my goal I will continue to strive for that goal. “Heart of a Champion” by Nelly has a similar effect on me. Nelly explains that there is no way that anybody is gong to stop him from accomplishing his goal. I believe that this is relevant to my life on the football field as well as in the classroom. I will not let anybody stop me from accomplishing my goal and I will try me very best to accomplish them.

The next song has a different meaning to it. “Ride” by Twenty-One Pilots allows me to look at my life as a whole. This song makes me realize that in the chaos that is life I must take a step back from everything and make sure that I enjoy the ride that is life. Life is a precious thing and I realize that when I hear this song.
