Just by reading the title of the story and the first page I thought the story was going to be from a feminist point of view. However after reading the whole story that quickly changed my mind. I really liked how James Fallows descriptively described Mr. and Mrs. Clintons throws. I also enjoyed how the author mentioned the counter argument about the structural differences in males and females and how that is nonexistent. He went into the Olympics and how girls can throw just as fast if not faster than males. In addition, Fallows also went into Tennis and brought up the point that Girls can serve harder and faster than males. Personally I thought the part where the author went into the different ways to learn how to throw was kind of boring. Although that I found that boring I really liked when the author made the reference to the kinetic chain. I thought it was really interesting that they got so descriptive while writing this and overall I believe it made the story much better.
If I was rating this story I would give it an 8.5/10. Although I thought the beginning made it seem like it was going to be a feminist point of view I think it turned out great. I thought the examples the author used were really good. I also liked the ending and think it had a great lesson, that everyone has to learn.

I agree with your statements. At the beginning I also thought that this article was going to be from a feminist point of view. Also, I agree that the part where the author writes about how to throw drags on, making it difficult to keep on reading. Overall, good response.
