If an individual is said to play, throw or hit like a girl, these statements are often intended as insults. Female athletes are generally considered less experienced than their male counterparts. Athletics for women is considered a hobby, not a career path. Although women's sports have made great strides towards equality, the stigma that women's sports are inferior is still prevalent. While co-ed sports teams may not be the answer, giving women the opportunity to play the same sports as men is a step in the right direction. In many areas sports such as football are not offered in their full form to girls. Disparaging female athletes with inadequate opportunities, unequal media coverage, and lack of value is cause for concern because it continues a horrific cycle of discrimination. As Eileen McDonagh and Laura Pappano point out in Playing With The Boys: Why Separate Is Not Equal In Sports “All women are assumed to be athletically inferior to all men” (5). This statement implies that when women are denied the right to play a sport, they are lumped into one unconditional group. Instead of treating each athlete as an individual, athletes are classified by gender as strong or weak. The social constraints imposed on women make aggression or dirtiness unfeminine. In the film Run Like a Girl, young women talk about what it feels like to play a sport where they are aggressive and how it gives them more confidence in their own strengths. Women who play predominantly male-dominated sports are often encouraged to sexualize themselves to maintain their "femininity" and gain popularity
