Who "throws like a girl"? [Video]

In this video, men are asked to throw rocks with their non-dominant hand.  Inevitably, some of the men have poor throwing technique (aka "throw like girls").  I think this video is a great way to illustrate the idea that the way we use and move our bodies may signal gender, but that these behaviors are learned.  In other words, being able to throw well is not about being a man or a woman, but rather about how much practice and training one has experienced.
