    This mother is glad her daughter clocked a boy in the balls. And there's a bunch of comments below that support it.

    I've come across girls who think its funny. I blame feminism.

    What the hell?

    If you're slow enough to allow a girl kick you In the nuts then you deserve it.

    I blame stupidity.

    And time travel. Article is three years old.

    Getting a smack in the sack is never nice but not only girls do it.

    Some guys at lunch were saying they saw a fight at a bar last night where a woman kicked a guy in the balls so he promptly punched her in the head. I was thinking for a second that ClaireFontaine must have been in the same bar.

    I blame the bankers! They're the ones who got us into this mess.

    I mean, back in 2008, with the bank guarantee, what happened in that room with the Minister for Finance? What exactly was said and who was in there?

    This is old and im not sure that most girls think its ok to abuse men. Unless modern feminism has told them otherwise, (things like scum manifesto, radical feminism etc. seem to make me think so)

    Ok I blame feminism for giving their mothers the sense of entitlement to endorse it.

    Horrible people.. encouraging their kids to stand up for themselves :pac:

    Is feminism also to blame for the type of behaviour the boy involved apparently showed in this case?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,478 ✭✭✭wexie


    While I'm not sure the situation described in the article quite warrants the reaction (no ages mentioned) I will teach both of my daughters (when the time comes)that a swift kick in the goolies can get them out of trouble quickly.

    They'll also be taught that it's a very serious thing to do and should be used sparingly but nonetheless I think it's a valid part of a girls self defense arsenal.

    And yes I've been hit in the goolies before (over a lot less than my daughters will be taught is acceptable) and no I'm not a feminist.

    I agree I think its disgraceful that some women think that is acceptable and funny yo kick guys in the balls and also the way in which they think it is acceptable to hit men aswell but not the other way around.

    Standing up for yourself does not include sexual assault, which is what a kick in the balls is. The boy in the blog stood in front of her. They were ten years old in a public space.

    My crothch is at eye level when I stand at a table and someone is sitting there. Should I punch waiters who stand by me at my table in the nuts too?

    Yep, two equally bad acts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,901 ✭✭✭Howard Juneau


    So the word of the daughter was taken over the victim of the assault? Nice!

    That's one strain of feminism - a particularly nutty, fringe feminism that no reasonable person would subscribe to. It is not "modern feminism" full stop.

    A kick in the fanny is no laughing matter either!!

    I wouldnt find that funny, I cross my legs when I see someone getting hit in the nuts and I dont even have a pair of balls.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,525 ✭✭✭miller50841


    Someone pumped up on drugs won't feel a thing though.

    I think you're selectively ignoring some salient points in the article =/

    Either that or being facetious..

    If a girl kicked me in the nuts I'd punch her in the ovary, a straight shot, right to the babymaker.

    It is modern feminism. Modern feminism is a cult, it is a cult rooted in suppression of differing opinions and it is growing into the mainstream (no f***ing joke)

    -If you are not a feminist you must "hate women"
    -If you don't see an issue with trans people you "support gender roles and the patriarchy"
    -but, if you don't say "women have vaginas and men have penises" you are called a "bigot" by a different group of feminists and hounded (PAX got into hassle for this)
    -If you denounce incorrect claims (gender pay gap for example) you support the "patriarchy"

    the list goes on. Feminism is a cancer and should not be tolerated. Men have problems, women have problems. Focusing on the problems of one gender will not solve anything

    It can also get them into trouble just as quick. Do you think it's ok for boys to kick girls in their vag if say your daughter said "say hello to my vag"? I bet you don't.

    Let's not blow it out of proportion, it's an overreaction to teasing. They're only kids. These things happen, live and learn. Hopefully he doesn't hate girls now :P

    I reckon a kick in the balls is sorer than a kick in the fanny. Maybe it depends on the fanny.
    Anyway, no, it's not right to kick a boy/man in the balls unless in extreme cases where self defence is required. I don't agree with this kid doing it and it disturbs me that so many agree with this. The young lad was behaving like a little brat but violence should not have been resorted to. I know the girl is only a little one too, but it's still indefensible IMO.

    Maybe radical feminism is part of why it's deemed acceptable by some women. I would also blame a type of macho culture notion - that "men should be able to take it and shouldn't let it happen in the first place".

    It can also cause sterility and ruptures.

    I agree with you about the macho culture endorsing it too.

    Stop talking bollocks. That crazy stuff is not modern feminism. Most of the above, as I said, are not reasonable views. A reasonable woman will not think a person who isn't a feminist must hate women (plenty of women aren't feminists). It's idiotic to see an issue with trans people (seeing as they can't help who they are), doesn't matter what political beliefs the person having that issue has - what does it have to do with feminism? Nobody normal EVER thinks it's bigoted to say women have vaginas and men have penises (lol, you have some wild imagination).

    Moderate feminism is a cancer eh? Well then you must think men's rights activism is a cancer.

    Well that's the thing, at a young age it's something warranting a good serious chat and little more.

    But yes, I will be teaching my daughters that if they're ever in a situation where they need to quickly disable a (likely physically much stronger) boy/man that a good kick in the balls will do the trick.

    I don't see a problem with it at all if the situation calls for it.

    In this case....don't think it was called for, someone said 10 year olds, all I got from the article was playschool which leads me to believe younger than 10. In which case it was a completely overreaction from the mother.

    Well until a day comes when each and every random person's blog entries can be verified as being authentic, we'll just have to make do with taking them at face value :p

    What's the point in even discussing it if you feel it isn't true? People go to extremes to build their own version of events about what may have happened in this fabricated world. It's absurd... and the whole gender war which has developed online over the last number of years is fcuking insane, and ugly and very very dangerous.

    But shur let's all argue and become entrenched over what could very well be the delusions of other people.
