I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren’t true
and I can believe things where nobody knows if they’re true or not

What is it about being female that makes guys think we can't play sports? I mean, seriously. Why is it that guys automatically assume that I won't be able to throw or catch a football, just because I have a freaking X chromosone? It just drives me crazy. I did not ask to be born female. In fact, if I had had the option, female would not have been my first choice. And then, just because I get knocked over by a guy, about three times my size, they all assume that I've died. Hello, female - not glass! I love playing football. I really do. But today all I got to do was spend 75 minutes standing around on a field watching the guys run around, drop the balls, and generally make fools of themselves. But God forbid they actually listen to me when I point out that the strategy that has been failing them for the past, oh 3 downs, may not be their best guess. And we sure wouldn't want to throw the ball to the girl who is standing completely alone, far away from the other team (but in throwing distance) and about 5 feet from the endzone. Nope, better to throw to the guy who hasn't yet managed to catch a single ball, and is being covered by three players from the other team. Yeah, I can see the sense in that.

Grrr. In the words of Angel *insert angry growling animal noises here* What a complete waste of time! Stupid stupid boys.
