Rachel Haspel, a columnist for the Washington Post Health & Science section writes: "There’s no way around it. I throw like a girl. Luckily, it’s not difficult to avoid situations in which throwing is required, and I’ve managed to do it successfully my entire adult life. Except that one time. A decade or so ago, in New York, a ball came flying over an 18-foot schoolyard fence just as I was passing by. There was no one I could hand it off to, and a gaggle of fifth-graders was waiting for me to toss it back. I had so little faith in my overarm throwing that I had to go underhand. The squeal of brakes was my first indication that the ball had ended up behind me, in the middle of Columbus Avenue. The best I can say about this incident is that nobody got hurt. I know I’m not the only woman with that kind of story. As much as the expression grates, girls do, in general, throw like girls. More here.
