We've all seen it. A woman throwing something looks like a badly-made puppet with elastic instead of strings. Arms go in random directions totally unassociated with where they want the projectile to go.

The exception to this is when the throwing is preceded by their demand to know "Do you know what time it is?" or "Where the hell have you been?". In these circumstances the projetile invariably hurtles at supersonic speed in a dead straight line to strike the target exactly between the eyes.

So, why is it that under non-naughty-husband-induced conditions women cannot throw things? Are their muscles and bones aligned differently from men's? Is it psychological (a deeper part of their brain is shouting "I must not throw! I must not throw!" thus causing a conflict between intent & action)? Please, dear erudite TNSers, enlighten me.

Does it harp back to the hunter/gatherer vrs. homemaker physiology?

Are you suggesting that women retain more prehistoric traits then men?

i believe it has to do with the shape of the object. Any woman with a round object does struggle, but give her something with a handle...

OOgaoogaooga!!!!

I will have you know it is because firstly they don't practice and secondly I used to throw as good as most men! My distance was a bit closer as I did not have the strength to throw as far but I could sail a baseball good straight and from Home plate on a baseball diamond to any one of the right left or center field posistions! It was hard from further out.  Best was to pitchers mound.  I loved throwing and was good at it. I practiced with my husband as he played and with my boys as they played. I threw hard and pretty precise. I had a high school girlfriend who could put any boy to shame with her fast thrown spinner! she was excellent!!! LOL I could also slam that thing with the bat too! No one ever messed with me.. I was not twiggy in the muscle department! LOL

I'm going to pretend that this isnt a chauvantistic question and due my best to explain.

Men IN GENERAL throw better than women due to muscle mass, and probably because they are taught the proper movements more often than girls are. For the second  part: When hubby is being "less than perfect" funneling that frustration and adrenaline into a throw is pretty easy.

or it could be that simply, women couldn't care less!

Probably because as they grow up they dont try all them silly things that boys do which requires arms and legs to reach strain,kick,punch etc at every angle possible. Our bodies just get used to doing things which there's dont . Whens the last you saw a girl climb a tree or have a play fight..

 Yesterday before my niece left to go home to Idaho! LOL She was in the top of my bay trees sitting in the perch both of my boys.. My daughter never did that I know of.. LOL sat in! LOL. My sister is a tree climber and loved climbing trees or anything for that matter!
