Why dont women care when men get hurt?

Question

I know that's generalizing, but it still seems true to me! There are so many questions about kicking a guy in the nuts on here, and I know they were asked by a troll, but I find some of the answers girls give just shocking! Here's a prank video where the dude and a girl play a prank on the girls girlfriend, and she just knees him right in the nuts:

Can someone explain to me why kneeing a guy in the crotch like that is any better than punching a woman in the stomach? And why it shocks you so little that you can laugh about it? Its just as dangerous and more painful than a really hard punch in the stomach.
Imagine the roles were reversed. How fucked up that would be. So WHY DO YOU LAUGH?
Would you laugh if you saw your male friend get floored like that, in obvious pain? Would you sincerely feel bad, or just say you do?

It's a sincere question. It makes me feel like shit that girls think its ok to hurt men and laugh at their reaction. And that it seems to be so normal that we dont even realize it. I'm sick of constantly seeing that on tv and movies too.

1. Like the chosen-answer said - anyone who is genuinely laughing at you when you are hurt is not nice/doesn't care about you and that goes for any gender, especially (or mostly) when it's in person in a REAL-life situation.
2. There are CENTURIES of female abuse, subtle and pervasive misogyny, rape and violence towards women. The entire world (or to simplify for now; at least here in the US) is VERY VERY VERY male and penis driven. I know you may not think this, or realize it, and that's ok. But I promise you, whether it's homeless (or seeming nice) guys assaulting us, dudes sending us dick-pics, general "dick-focused" action movies and male-perspectives in ads being blasted out to us all the time, or violent and hateful comments being shouted at feminists, or even your male friends dominating conversations, it's a very male-dominant world. There is a lot of pain that women have suffered. It doesn't mean it should be a GOAL to hurt men in REAL LIFE, but when it comes to expressing a smidge of that well-earned (and often un-asked for) rage in a safe way, then you can get "hitting him in the ball jokes". It's a light way for a woman, maybe, to feel like she has some sense of power. Again, not saying it's in REAL LIFE kicking a guy. I'm talking about the simulation of it, like you show here, etc. Still, it's not nice and it's poor humor, and dumb, etc. But the reason it's not the same as a woman getting punched in the stomach is because that happens. Women get abused violently already by men, so commonly, that this is about turning the tables. It's SWITCHING THE NARRATIVE. Not saying it's the most heightened form of self expression, but you have to understand, and I hope, if you are sincerely asking this question that you will, that this is about very deep issues of gender equality. To me it 's a way that women can take back a sense of power that has been so commonly and often violently taken from them.
(Again, the simulation of it, not literally doing this to guys. I wouldn't ever want any guy I cared about to go through that in real life).
3. We have been surrounded by the foolish humor of "guys getting hit in the nuts" since the dawn of media. And quite often this is 99% male-created content because dudes seem to think it's hilarious. There are so many movies that rely on this stupid joke of a guy getting hit in the nuts. It's so ubiquitous that a lot of people don't take offense to it/don't take it seriously/don't realize it could offend anyone.

Well, I will say that as a woman I have never laughed at any man getting sacked, and I don't find it amusing at all. The girl in the video posted above is obviously an attention whore who enjoys finding ways to fuck around with people. I am not even sure why these types of "pranks" are considered to be funny. Why would you want to make your girlfriend/best friend (respectively) feel like this? Even if it is fake, that is just disgusting behaviour.

That said, if her boyfriend was in on it (and clearly he was) then he deserved it, I'm sorry. You do not do something like that to a person and not expect them to react in a negative (or violent) way. I threw a cup of hot coffee at my husband's head when I caught him cheating. I'm telling you right now that had he been close enough for me to strike him with my hand or foot I wouldn't have stopped hitting him.

Not that it's particularly related to the question, but it's probably prudent to point out that his girlfriend (or ex by now) did ask him to back off and he was stupid enough to approach her after she told him to get away from her. She gave him fair enough warning by thumping his chest and pushing him, clearly she was fully prepared to take physical action. And again, I'm not saying that it's okay to kick a man in the testicles, but when you don't listen I'm not sure what you're expecting to happen.

I have watched videos of men kicking each other in the balls and then laughing about it. In fact, isn't there some deluded game out there where guys tap each other in the balls or something? I'm not sure, but the point I'm trying to make here is that it seems (to me) that men go out of their way to put themselves in the position to be hit in the balls. So maybe women should laugh at them--not for getting kicked in the balls, specifically, but at their sheer stupidity.

This is not my opinion of all men, I have known many extraordinary and amazing men that would never deserve to be injured this way, and I do not make a point of finding any amusement in this sort of situation, even when the premise is funny.

Quite honestly, if a girl doesn't care if you get hurt... she's just not that into you. This is the same for any other human being on the planet... male or female.
If a girl is into you (i am into my boyfriend... i adore him) she's going to hate you being in any situation that might end in you getting hurt. Its going to make her anxious and she's going to want to "protect" you.
This obviously doesn't count for epicly stubbed toes and great, flailing falls... sometimes those are just funny. (Lets be honest, in those situations... you rarely get REALLY hurt. Come on)
This is really not a gender issue... this is just human beings interacting.

Many women seem completely ignorant that a single kick to the testicles can be enough to make a man infertile. Maybe many do not consider this when lashing out.

Guys and girls can both be Aholes, they can both have double standards.

We do live in a society of double standards - but they do seem to differ from country to country, so making generalizations about all women or all men is overly reductive.

If the video is real, is is not a "prank" - it is a form of passive aggressive abuse towards the subject that has no basis in comedy or debasing the establishment.
what is a worrying trend in society over the last 15/20 years is that the feminist movement was supposed to be about equalizing the sexes - to say that one was not better than the other and that both had equal rights.
This has been perverted by a section that uses built up hostility towards the other sex to justify reactions - such as violence - that they then decry as being "wrong"(because it is).
Violence towards men has been slowly normalized by parts of society due in part to mens historical violence towards women. The ignorant and stupid of this world tend to think that a tit-for-tat response is the correct one while it is simply exactly the same abhorrent behaviour being enacted by both of the sexes.

In an earlier post by a women it was noted that the subject in the video had warned the male approaching her, and this somehow mediated her actions. If the gender role was reversed and a man warned a women but still ended up hitting her - he would be in jail.
Equality means equality - not double standards.

I feel this way as well. Most women have no care or concern at all for men and see us as nothing but animals, I guess. Or objects. We're just dogs for them to "train" by being selectively nice or mean to us. They just use affection to manipulate us and they punish us according to how much we do what they want. That they call, "love."

That's really how I feel.

Women don't consider the majority of men to even be human. It's amusing to them to see men suffer. All that bulldrek about women being nurturing and whatnot, it's all lies. Women are more sadistic than men could ever dream of, they just have to be sneaky about how they let it out because if they try to physically hurt a man, they'll get their ass handed to them. But if they cause him to suffer by other means (setting faggotass white knights on him, for example), they still get to enjoy his suffering and there are no consequences to him.

Learning about female nature is a real eye opener.

And now that I know all the things that have been hidden from me about them, I don't feel bad for ANYTHING I do to one, nor do I have any empathy for anything bad that befalls a woman. I'm likely to laugh at whatever it is, especially if it's something she brought on herself.

RoryG131 · Answer

It is the same reason "men can not be raped" logic that so many use. We are men and it is part of being a man that we can not be hurt by silly girls. So if it is done by "the weaker sex" nobody thinks it is serious because men are stronger then women and he is just over reacting. I had this happen my kid ran to hug and headbutted my nuts which caused me to scream and fall over. My wife laughed because she thought i was exaggerating In reality i was in excruciating pain. Simply put. Women bitch about labor and pregnancy being painful but then ask to go through it again. The only men that asked to be hit in the balls a second time are the morons from the "Jackass: movies.

If you've admitted that you know you're generalizing here that women don't care when a guy gets hurt, then believe me when I say, if a guy or any of my friends was hurt by someone else, my instinct would be to help them or go after the person who tried to harm them. While you're pointing fingers here, you also need to point out that MANY a guy has laughed at a guy in pain or who gets kneed in the balls, or who lands on his balls in an accident. If you're going to have a fair analysis, it's only fair to point out that guys who KNOW what that pain feels like still laugh as much as some of the women who do it to guys and think it's funny.

some women are just cold hearted creatures. I'd only knee someone there in self defense. Other than that kneeing a man is a no no.

Much like the suburban white male society has raised them with a in healthy balance of over consideration this makes it irelivent of others point of view or moral obligation to do what they tell others they take a stance with or for such as the felling of the "overly superior sex"

The only time I ever hit a woman was when my ex girlfriend thought it would be funny to knee me in the nuts In a club. In pain and blinded by race I slapped her so hard that she fell down. Stupid bitch tried to press charges at 2pm the next day but I had already gone to casualty with my bruised testicles and taken the club cctv footage to the police station. She got bound over by law for the assault.

Since the dawn of time a man's roll is to provide for and protect women and children of their band and family. Women are the nurturers, but only if they feel safe or compelled to do so by that nature. Hope that helps.
