    It's not about the boobs, it's about that fact that before young girls get to the pubescent age of about 10, they aren't aware of "like a girl" as being an insult. But once they get older, their physical abilities fall very short compared to that of their male counterparts. Now all of a sudden, female's physical abilities are made that much more obvious, that now "Like a girl" is considered an insult. Women don't "fight, run, or throw" like that because they're girls, they "fight, run, and throw" like that because society tells them too.

    I don't think the video is trying to get women into the NBA, I think it simply wants young girls (and older ones as well) to understand that the phrase "like a girl" is something made up and shaped by society and culture, and not just from "being a girl"......

    I think there are women with boobs who know how to do things just as good as men do.

    FYI as requested your female gold medalists with Boobs:

    Tsk, tsk... This post sounds amusingly and ironically testy...

    Are you saying that despite being one that's proudly demonstrated his firm grasp on the actual empowering message of the video.... That you immediately took offense to being compared to a girl....?

    Say it ain't so...
