  Just Like a Kick in the Balls

  Why is it funny when a woman assaults a man?

  I dunno. But I'm sure its for about the same reason that its "funny" when a man gets kicked in the nuts-- particularly by a woman.

  That's actually been something that's always amazed me-- how, as a society, we can be so matronizing about male violence towards women, and yet completely silent when its the other way around. Hollywood loves the "kick in the nuts" gag. And yet if you imagine something similar happening to a woman, the hue and cry would be enormous.

  And, btw, ladies, if you think you're immune to being "kicked in the nuts" -- think again.... it is quite possible to get "kicked in the ovaries", it just takes a little more aim and practice (or more luck if done accidently) and from what I've read and been told, its every bit as agonizing (read: down on the ground writhing around) as it is for the guys.

  Personally, I think getting "kicked in the ovaries" should be a required experience for women, but that's just my own opinion and I'm sure the femnazis would spin it in some other direction-- like my latent hostility toward women or some bullshit like that. NO. I'm not latently hostile toward women. I'm OVERTLY HOSTILE to femnazi bitches. Regular women I'm quite fond of.

  Of course there's another angle too-- why do guys (girls too many? I dunno) find it so amusing / "funny" / "fun to watch" when two girls go at it and have a "bitch fight"? I'm sure part of it is the sheer novelty of it. Its not something you often see or encounter. Another is probably the difference in fighting style-- women seem to fight differently then men do (sure, why not? They're not men) And I'm sure there's also the prurient interest-- nay, strike that, I'm POSITIVE of it-- that the men watching (and perhaps the women too) are secretly hoping the fight will get out-of-hand and clothes will start flying.

  But I doubt those are all the reasons-- it has something to do with deep down "psyche prototype" feelings toward women, about women-- what women are, what they do, how they act, how they behave and interact in society. That physical violence, for the most part-- except when protecting her cubs-- is a deep down social oddity, not quite a taboo-- but very very unusual so as to have the allure of a "dancing bear" when it happens (its not that the bear dances the waltz, its that the bear dances at all).
