For a man to throw "like a girl" is generally seen as an insult.

Yes, but being feminine seen as something “bad” for women (which I thing was mlang23’s point) is much, much more recent. (I understand that women were seen as “inferior” due to some of those “feminine” traits. But I think they were insulted if they were not feminine enough, more than for being too feminine.)
