I think you are creating a point that is not really there. At least with regards to "throwing like a girl" or "throwing like a boy".You are missing the point.
That's because it is different.It IS perceived as different.
Well females are generally weaker then males. Biology. Sorry, I'm just stating reality.It's perceived as weak.
Well at throwing, yea. In general girls don't throw as well (mechanics, strength) as boys."Throw like a girl" means "you SUCK".
Has nothing to do with throwing.Being feminine is BAD.
Only if you think you are.I am less of a person in this society because I am a woman.
Everybody is put down and belittled at some point. It's how you deal with it, how you let it or rather don't let it define you.We are constantly put down and belittled. We are constantly reminded that we are less. It doesn't matter if there are real physical differences between men and women. What matters is how those differences are used to make excuses for the insults.
My daughter when she was younger she would come home and be upset about what other girls said about her. I asked her if it was true? No. So then what do you care? It took awhile (like months, a couple years), til she finally began to understand that what you know to be true about yourself, should not be affected by what other people think or say. Now she doesn't have the time of day for anyone's "drama". To take it to it's extreme, Wolves do not concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.
