"Throw like a girl"

Yeah, she drew 1 million PPV buys like a girl. Ask Meisha and the others if she has a girly armbar...


Rhonda is one of my favorite fighters of all time and I have been a fight fan for almost 45 years.

Like a girl. It's a good thing no more no less!

Well, she wasn't fighting like a girl. In martial arts, or wrestling, to the best of my knowledge, they NEVER say OH, you're a girl, fight like THIS. The only reason people even brought up GIRL, is because there was a difference. If you see untrained girls and boys fight, they often do fight differently. AGAIN, I couldn't say WHY?

Still, Kotex brought this up because they figured this was agood lead in as a reason why girls have problems at puberty, and it was a demonstrable and real case of denigration in some way, even if it really wasn't meant in that way. Let me tell you a few things that many don't seem to realize:

1. NOBODY has reached their potential.
2. This means that ANYONE could be better than they are.
3. It ALSO means that you can't even compare yourself to a monozygotic sibling in this way!

There are plenty of stories about people that started out fat and weak and ended up thin and strong. There were even females that started out looking kind of ugly and ended up looking beautiful, with NO surgery. And nobody really starts out good in sports, etc...

As for why girls feel so bad at puberty? You could say the same about boys. WHY would one feel bad being told that they are in some way showing their sex? What is next? Hey,I like seeing women with ponytails, longhair, dresses, etc... I hope they NEVER get rid of them because they are feminine. What's wrong with THAT? Face it, people are different,and in possibly every culture, males and females are considered different in several ways. And there ARE different standards.

HECK, I heard about one guy that was not that buff that supposedly had some big dreams. As I recall, some laughed at him. They figured he wasn't strong enough, and the accent was a detriment, etc... His name was Arnold Schwarzenegger. I wonder how the publicist reacted when a kid's attempt at building a computer "blew up". It wasn't actually because of what he did, but because he used substandard parts because they were free. His name was steve wozniak, and he was the one that designed the first computers for Apple, and co founded it!

And YEAH, there are people like Rhonda Rousey who was threatened in a movie theater and they called the police on HER, for battery! The cops got a good laugh at her statement about how she decked all the guys. They apparently called just to hear how it went down, and get a laugh. And HEY! A friend of rhondas started to tell the aggressors what rhonda was, and she told the person "DON'T tell them THAT!". She LIKED being underestimated!

Yeah, here she is 4 years ago "breaking ankles".


And now breaking down the batters...

So, you are asking Lance to be "open minded"? Sure, it starts there, but it always ends up with smeared makeup, regret, and broken promises.


Lance; Don't take Riffle up on his "Free drinks if you dress like a girl" offer.

Shame on you Dan.

Can a girl Chuck, like Norris. No, of course not.

Basic Quantum Physics, already has proved that girls are made of "Sugar and spice and all things nice" and boys are made of "Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails"

Claude, at last, hinted on this thread that Men, due to genetics, evolution, and natural selection etc, are predisposed to having a bigger frame and stronger bodies by default. There is no sexism or discrimination here, its just a fact.

Women (and of course all ladies reading this thread who are the exception to the rule) of course can get fit and build muscles and beat a lot of average men hands down at all sorts of physical activities, but, the strongest and fittest of women pitched against a male counterpart would ultimately lose.

The martial arts are a possible exception if the woman was an expert. If the guy knew none but was strong the woman would probably bring him down anyway as she knows how to fight, hit in the right places, avoid his blows etc.

They do not pitch men against women in Olympic, sports, tennis or anything else for a reason. It would not be fair. Men hold all the records for fastest, weightlifting, swimming speeds discus throwing and all the rest simply because taken to the extreme their bodies are predisposed to potentially to being stronger and with the fitness training and muscle building they do to compete they get that way.

It is the way that society is, that most women do not want to have big bulging muscles, Men like either lean women or voluptuous curvy women or somewhere in between, very few men like muscular women, women who do weights etc. Women pander to that. Women themselves don't generally want to look like Charles Atlas either, they don't want their boobs to shrivel up to nothing, they don't want to look, well, more like a man.

Men look their best when lean but with some muscle. Only competitive weightlifters and strongmen take that to the extreme and I think they look grotesque.

If I went out onto a baseball pitch in my condition having no experience or training compared to the pros on the field I'm sure they would say well you throw like a girl. If I was compared to a woman of similar age and fitness having my throw speed measured I would probably still throw a little faster than her simply because of the disposition of my larger frame.

While sounding discriminatory, insulting and sexist to some it it can be just be meaning that, women cant generally throw as hard and fast as men. Yeah sure, there are exceptions, but pitch the best thrower from either sex and the man would be most likely be faster. That video and view is just satire. Taking it to the extreme.

As for posting video's of women playing guitars, whats that about? No relevance.
