I thought of this thread today. While waiting at a tee the two high school dudes in front of me were commenting that someone in the group on the hole 'throws like a girl, but carries a bag hahaha'
Then I watched them both very gingerly chuck their discs straight into trees about 20 feet in to the right. I wanted to ask them how they would describe how they throw and if they've ever seen a female player besides their one buddy's girlfriend that tagged along and threw a couple in between texting. I didn't say anything, just chuckled, as I didn't want to start anything I didn't feel like finishing. But anyways, I was mostly dumbfounded that kids are still growing up with this perception. I learned very early on that girls who didn't play sports well, did so because they just didn't care not because they were incapable. But some of my friends still had that misogynistic belief. I would have thought that with new generations the mindset would be shifting.
