“Throw Like a Girl”
Comments(4) | Reading this story, along with a few other discussions in both this class and my spanish course have been fairly upsetting. I have come to realize that in nearly every expert’s opinion, women are discriminated against. Frankly, I disagree. When the author makes the point of there being so many derogatory names directed towards women, he explicitly leaves out all of the derogatory names that exist for men (e.g. bastard, ass hole, douche bag, etc…). It is extremely upsetting that no one seems to realize that people are just as derogatory towards men as they are towards women. As for the point made of the NCAA tournament being marked as the “women’s” tournament, this is completely false now. As we read in a previous assignment, broadcasters explicitly avoid marking it as such. And that was in 2002. A full decade ago! Now a days, there is far less marking of names than in the late 20th century. This subtle contradiction is angering and makes me question the reliability of this work. Maybe it’s time for us to conduct some new studies and come up with new results. Maybe, instead of focusing on what the traditional viewpoints of the past have been, we need to work together as a society, not man and woman, to move forward. If people stopped complaining about how women have been treated in the past and just open their eyes for a moment they could see that the world has changed!
Well, this Thursday I read through a couple of your posts. I must say this is one of your better ones. Have a nice day!
Can I simply say what a reduction to seek out somebody who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know tips on how to convey an issue to mild and make it important. More people have to learn this and perceive this side of the story. I cant imagine youre no more standard since you definitely have the gift.
I am impressed, I must say. Very seldom do I come across a blog that is both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, youve hit the nail on the head. Your idea is important the issue is something that not a lot of people are talking intelligently about. I am really happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
