Directions: For the following question, use this excerpt from James Fallows’s essay “Throwing Like a Girl,” which originally appeared in the Atlantic. The phrase “throwing like a girl” has become an embattled and offensive one. Feminists smart at its implication that to do something “like a girl” is to do it the wrong way. . . . On the heels of the O. J. Simpson case, a book appeared in which the phrase was used to help explain why male athletes, especially football players, were involved in so many assaults against women. Having been trained (like most American boys) to dread the accusation of doing anything “like a girl,” athletes were said to grow into the assumption that women were valueless, and natural prey. I grant the justice of such complaints. I am attuned to the hurt caused by similar broad-brush stereotypes when they apply to groups I belong to—”dancing like a white man,” for instance, or . . . “thinking like a Washingtonian.” Reflect upon the meaning of the first paragraph. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea?
