A comment about the news story below (which was sent to us in a comment to a previous post by an anonymous reader): Four to five men in the Calgary area have been attacked by apparently the same young woman who approaches random men and kicks them so hard in the groin that at least one of them lost a testicle. Perhaps men in Calgary need to wear a protective cup when they're out and about until somebody finally nabs her. This story underscores an important truth about our culture's backward attitudes when it comes to the subject of violence against men.
Is this story funny to you? A twisted comment posted to the original story reads as follows: "HAHAHAHAHHA SORRY BUT IS FUNNY." Sorry, but it's not funny; it does not elicit smiles; it does not bring out chortles, except to warped, immature minds. Unfortunately, though, this attitude is predictable because our culture is hung up on any assertion that maleness in general is vulernable or can be victimized -- it's funny, and probably well-deserved, when males are attacked by females; it's especially funny, and probably well-deserved, when males are kicked in the groin by women. Prison rape is the most hilarious of all, and, of course, it is well-deserved. Hitting a woman even in self-defense? That's not just wrong, it will get you tossed into jail (if you are male).
Another comment to this story by a "Jordenne," used this story about a vicious attack that causes unique injury to males as the occasion to draw "attention to the lack of coverage female rape victims get in Calgary." Sigh. Here we go. Waaah! What about the womenz! Jordenne raised the question about "the choices being made about what is news worthy and what is not." Sigh, again. I am sure that to people like Jordenne, even rape that does not cause any physical or lasting damage is "worse" than a random kick to the groin that causes a completely innnocent young man to lose a testicle. How does one even respond to that? What words can I muster to express the moral grotesqueness of such a sentiment? To this woman, this news report only got in the paper because it's about balls -- which are "funny," right? And whatever happens to men, no matter how serious, is never, ever as deserving of our attention as whatever happens to women, no matter how slight.
Sadly, these backward attitudes are imprinted on our culture's DNA, and they might have cost the young man in the story below his testicle -- he was understandably so embarrassed he didn't seek medical assistance right away.
HERE IS THE NEWS STORY:
Langley man loses testicle after random, vicious kick by woman
Men walking about in Langley should be wary after a woman viciously kicked a man in the groin, causing him to lose a testicle.
“I just want to know what her problem is,” Anthony Clark, 22, told The Province Tuesday.
“People like her shouldn’t be on the streets.”
Clark was walking along 200th Avenue in the Brookswood area of Langley one afternoon in early September when he passed his assailant on the sidewalk.
“I was looking down and then I took a passing glance and saw her walk up to me,” he said.
That’s when the young woman inexplicably kicked him in the groin hard enough to send one of his testicles into his abdomen.
Clark wasn’t aware of the severity of his injury until later that night when he “noticed something was missing.”
He consulted his doctor and a specialist, both of whom believed his testicle could be brought down again in surgery.
It wasn’t until he woke up afterwards that he discovered the doctors were wrong — the force of the assault had caused his testicle to rupture. It had to be removed and will be replaced by a prosthetic before Christmas.
“My doctors say I will still be able to have children,” Clark said. “But at 22 that’s not something I want a stranger, this woman, to decide.”
Embarrassed by the situation, Clark didn’t go to the police until nearly four weeks after the attack.
Constables have told him there have been three or four similar assaults on other men, Clark said.
Langley RCMP said they would like to speak to other victims, although there have been no official reported incidents, spokeswoman Const. Holly Marks said.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian woman, in her late teens or early 20s. She was between five foot five and five foot seven tall, and 130 pounds with a slim build, and brown hair.

These victims are so ashamed to come forward that they didn't even report being attacked by a woman. They know that the police will assume it was their fault.
This is why feminists love false accusers: they know that the threat of a false rape accusation is so great that men won't dare to hold women accountable for other illegal and/or immoral things that they do.
And guys don't run to the doctor with "my balls hurt," so that might have cost him big time.
I'm baffled as to how anyone could think this is either funny, or unimportant. Someone is assaulting people on the street and leaving them with severe, lasting damage. The gender of those involved shouldn't matter - but apparently it does. People view violence against women as horrible (which it is) but violence against men is "not a big deal." Violence against ANYONE is a big deal.
this is not funny, and this violent little pigwomen should be thrown in jail.
Remember that ABC News clip, where a woman actor pretended to beat up a male actor in public and women who were walking by rooted on the beating?
"You go, girl!"
Really, doesn't this prove just how inaccessible our courts are to men? That she could do this repeatedly and none of the guys dared to report it proves that men have no more reason to trust our criminal injustice system than slaves had to trust their massahs.
I think the guys are too ashamed to go whining about their nuts being attacked -- because, as a society, we've decided a kick to the nuts is funny.
It's a sensitive area to get kicked. One men don't like to talk about, let alone report.
I think the late reporting is just his pride messing with him.
however
the violence against Men is treated as unimportant and that is the sickening fact to take away from this.
For accuracy...
These men have been kicked in the genitals, NOT their groins. The use of the word "groin" is an artifice used to hide the reality.
Instances such as this should be treated as sexual assault just as any contact to a woman's genital area would be.
All the feminists ever talk about is how terrified women are of men in this "patriarchal society," and yet this women ran around kicking men in the balls with absolutely no fear that they would either report her or fight back in any way.
Men are passive targets now.
Gwallan, all due respect, everyone knows what Pierce meant, as do you. Sheees!
I hope her next intended victim kicks this piece of crap hard enough to rupture her ovaries.
I guess the autorities, who ignore stuff like this (or join in laughing at and shaming the male victim)as well as the others who laughed about this , do not realize how serious such a violent attack could be. Anyone of the men who were sexually assaulted in this manner could have died from shock, trauma, and/or internal bleeding. It is not funny or anything to laugh about.
You may have to scroll down to read the following article.

Misandryreview is featuring a report of this woman's heinous act.

IMHO, one of the reasons people find seeing a man, or sometimes a boy, getting kicked in the balls as funny is because Hollywood and the media have programmed people to see such an attack on males as something funny.
I bet gender feminists are cheering for this woman and minimalizing the harm she has caused. Another reason why there should be a violence against men act.
@Anon 10:55:00 PM...
For future reference my corrections, when they occur, are aimed at the source. In this case Katie Mercer, the author of the source article. I shall endeavour to be more specific.
However Katie is not exactly Robinson Crusoe in this deflection. It's de rigueur through western culture to trivialise or otherwise hide male pain.
In my country imagery of that type is overtly, and routinely used as a comedy or advertising prop.
Forgive me if I endeavour to call a spade a spade.
Gwallan, you aren't "calling a spade a spade." You are nitpicking a point that is not open to question for reasons known only to you. In the United States everyone knows what a kick to the groin means, sir, and you know it. Moreover, your correction is wrong. The kick was not to the genitals, it was to the testicles. You know, the balls, the nuts, the teabag, the mountain oysters, the berries.
Chill out, and stop being the expert on everything.
... and jewels ...
More fucking thought police who haven't the balls to use their own names.
OK Hint taken.
I'll fuck off.
Gwallan, that's a good point. "Groin" is not accurate and somewhat trivializes the attack.
Gwallan, you are correct about use of the term "groin." Your comments here are always helpful, and I am not sure why it rubbed anon the wrong way.
Hate to say it Anon but the US do find such a thing funny.
To quote Homer "Man fall down... funny" right after seeing a guy hit in the genitals with a football.
It's a common theme, makes Men cringe in sympathetic pain and Woman laugh
HAHA Sorry but this is funny
