Okay, so you're a [father]. You figure you can change a couple of token [diapers], advise her on buying her first [car], and then at some point walk her down the [aisle], and your parental responsibilities are over. You could [get away with it] too; many dads do. But if you're interested in seriously contributing to the [life] of your female [spawn], there is something you can do.

[Teach] her [how to] throw a [ball]. It won't turn her into a [tomboy], but it will give her opportunities denied to many girls who in the schoolyard, make [fool]s of themselves, by throwing like girls. These girls, who get shafted when a pick-up game of [baseball] comes up, often turn away from [sports] forever, and become the type of [women] who think it's okay to talk through the [Superbowl]. Is that the type of daughter you want?

I have friends who, to this day, are [bitter] at their fathers for not teaching them how to throw. For most girls, it just isn't something that comes [naturally]. I remember my [tee-ball] coach teaching me the correct way to throw a ball. I was amazed. I thought it was [just the boys] who could actually get the ball to the infield without a cutoff man. After that day I never felt [inferior] on the field or playground ever again. That's quite a [gift] to give a young girl.

Fathers teach your daughters how to throw
