Lightbulb Not Enough Credit

I've been lurking and observing for awhile but this issue just kind of gets me going...

Don't you think that the coaches of DDs through the years have compromised in their expectations and not taught them to develop their hitting skills? Rather, they have given in to "conventional wisdom" and bowed down to the "slapper gods" and accepted that the young lady can't be expected to hit a ball moving that fast in that many directions because "she's a girl". There are enough women out there hitting the ball where it's pitched and hitting it well for me to conclude that not as much time is spent coaching hitting in softball development programs as is spent in the boys' programs. Just a pet peeve of mine.
