[quote=Anonymous]OMG.  I am 45 and I played competitive soccer.  I beat all the boys in the Presidential Fitness thing---in every event.  I played Division 1 soccer.  Though--I liked make-up and fashion.  I had an older brother and a sister.

AND...I'm the first one to use the 'cry like a girl', etc.  I don't even think about it when I say it...or the irony that I am female.  I guess growing up it was an insult to be told that but if you were a gifted athlete nobody would ever accuse of doing anything like a girl.  In fact, I was told I don't 'run like a girl' and I took great pride in that growing up.

I have 5 nephews (teens and 20s) and I have two boys myself.  My nephews would tell my boys 'not to be a momma's boy' if they cried over something.

Frankly, I personally HATED that television ad with the 'run like a girl', 'throw like a girl' because I think they should have used top women athletes..not girls that couldn't run:).  My kids and I busted out laughing at one of the girls because she had the worst running form ever.

I like being a woman.  But- I don't go around looking for something to take 'offense' at constantly.

When even Jerry Seinfeld finds college campuses too liberal and politically correct---it is time America lightens the f*ck up!!
