Why can Beyonce brag about kicking a guy in the balls?

I don't get it. What if this was a male star who hit a woman in the stomach so hard that she collapsed?
What is the difference? Why is this something to brag about or be proud of?

Why does this get light of as "Girlpower", or "He deserved it, he provoked her", or "Damn, she feisty, don't mess with her" or "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, lol!"?

Why is violence against men a joke when committed by women?

[Anonymous]

Because it's hilarious!

"Before anyone could stop her, she ran right up to Chris, who was just standing there with his hands in his pockets, and kicked him right in the nuts! The poor kid fell right to his knees like a sack of potatoes."

come on, that's not funny?
Also, she's not bragging. She is not the speaker in the story. And he had done something to annoy her, it doesn't say what. Maybe he deserved it.

[Asker]

... How is that any better than me running up to a girl and punching her in the stomach so hard that she collapses? Or me kicking a girl in the vagina really hard?

[Asker]

I mean, sure it's funny if you're incapable of empathizing with the victim, or of seeing it as wrong.
Like when a cartoon character gets smashed by a falling piano.
Thing is, as a guy, I could (unlike you) actually be in this boy's place.
I know, a girl doesn't have to give a shit about violence directed at men, you can just laugh at us, and still cry and demand empathy and justice, when YOU are the victim, because violence against women is somehow worse.

[Asker]

By the way, what does a woman have to do, in order to deserve being punched or kicked so hard that she collapses?

[Opinion Owner]

We get menstrual pain even without deserving it.

And I don't think it's about empathizing with the "victim". I heard many "funny stories" from guys about times they got hit in the groin or seen other men get hit there, and I almost never heard girls tell such stories.
I'm under the impression that guys find it funnier.

[Asker]

Menstrual cramps have nothing to do with your actions, with morals, consequences or punishments. It's nothing someone DOES to you, it's not harmful, it's not a violation of your rights and your bodily integrity.

If a boy or man deserves to collapse in pain for doing something, then so do girls and women.
If you can justify and laugh about violence against boys and men, you can do the same with violence against girls and women.
If girls and women are justified in assaulting boys and men in certain situations, then boys and men are justified to assault girls and women in the same situations.

You can laugh about assault, about little boys collapsing in pain after having their safety, dignity, right to physical integrity, and their emotional boundaries violated all you want.
When someone gets hit there with a football, I laugh too. But this is assault.

[Asker]

Imagine a girl gets hit in the face or kicked in the vagina so hard by a boy that she collapses and cries, and then gets laughed at by EVERYONE.
Noone corrects the boy. Noone gives a shit how she feels, they just fucking laugh at her.

Different story all of the sudden, huh?

Of COURSE this is about being able to empathize.
You just don't give a shit when it's a little boy. He's like a cartoon character to you.
The only reason you DON'T laugh about a little girl in the same situation, is because you feel like it actually matters what happens to her, how she feels, in other words: you empathize. Because you could be in her shoes.
The same is not true when the victim is male, because you have your own little fucking category, where things start to matter.
It's just amusing to you when it's a boy. Because it doesn't threaten YOU on an abstract level.

[Asker]

And why the fuck is a boy simply collapsing in pain funny to you? Just the thought of this is hillarious to you?
"What? He fell to his knees? He wasn't even on his guard, he wasn't expecting it? It hurt a lot? It was done by another person intentionally? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! NOW THAT is hillarious! HAHAH HE WAS IN PAIN!!! PURE COMEDY!!! Now, if it was a girl, it would be a different story of course... BUT A LITTLE BOY? BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

[Opinion Owner]

I can see it's very emotional for you, but you got to chill.
If a female MMA fighter would kick you in the crotch full force, that wouldn't be don't at all. But if your girlfriend, who's much smaller and weaker than you, taps you there, yes, it's humorous.

I've seen several men "collapse" to the floor after getting hit there, and they were all up and about within a few minutes. Don't make such a big deal out of it.

[Asker]

Yeah, if you punch a woman in the stomach so hard that she collapses, she'll be up within a few minutes too.
Who the fuck are you to talk about whether this is a big deal or not?
The KID in the article was exactly that: Just a kid. What the hell makes you think that it feels any better to be put in so much pain that you collapse, when you are not female? Especially for a kid?
And between kids, there is not a great difference in strength between girls and boys. Especially not when you aim at the balls.
Just go fuck yourself. You're laughing at a little boy collapsing in pain after being assaulted by another person. What is the difference whether a boy makes a girl collapse in pain, resulting in her getting laughed at, belittled, and not being given a shit about, or whether a girl does that to a boy?

[Asker]

Can you, just for a second, pretend that little boys have feelings, and then put yourself in his shoes?
Must be out of your imagination, that someone assaults you physically, and people don't only not care, but laugh at you.

[Asker]

And don't pretend like this can't have extremely serious consequences. It can.

[JanuaryCanine]

According to that article, it seems she was very young when that incident occurred. It doesn’t seem she is bragging or proud of it, especially seeing as she didn’t even write that book herself. Violence towards males is taken very seriously if it’s reported.

[Asker]

Old enough to have a manager, apparently. And what does age have to do with that?
If a little boy in kindergarten hits a girl, he gets ostracized more than she did.
If a similar story about a guy who did something like this to a woman when he was young came up, it sure as hell wouldn't be presented so proudly or with undertones of "boypower, lol!"... you get what I mean

[JanuaryCanine]

You do realize she’s been in the spotlight since she was three years old, right? So yes at that age she would have had a manager. The point I’m making about age is that kids are going to hit and kick each other. It’s what kids do. You can’t put kids in court for just doing kid things.

[Asker]

little girls should know not to kick boys there just as well as boys should know not to hit girls, and they should receive the same contempt and ostracization

[JanuaryCanine]

Hahahaha right, no one is going to allow toddlers face up to the law for being kids.

[Asker]

I said nothing about courts.
Still, it wouldn't be presented the same way if it was the other way around.

[JanuaryCanine]

That’s what you’re implying though. Get back to me when the system allows toddlers to go on trial for being kids, okay? 😊

[Asker]

What? How am I implying anything about courts and trials? That's a straw man.
I'm talking about societal approval. The way an act of violence, no matter how old the person who did it, is presented based on the gender of both the victim and perpetrator.
I fully agree with you that children shouldn't be put infront a court for that. I never claimed or thought that.

[Asker]

Ok, so it's funny when little boys hit little girls in the face, because that's just them being kids. Got it.

[Asker]

I'm not defending the riddiculous position you want me to defend, just so you can point out how riddiculous it is. Just because you perceived my argument as being about courts, doesn't mean I intended it that way. Sorry.

[markscott]

A girl can kick a guy in the balls, and get away with it, for the same reason, during a rape trial, a male defendant can't bring up her sexual past and impugn her character, but she can bring up his sexual past, and impugn his character. These are areas where society allows women to have an unfair advantage over guys. There are also areas where society allows men to have unfair advantages over women.

[jsdfreedom]

I cannot recall a single time in my entire life where being a man gave me any advantages simply for being a man. Unless I'm missing something, please tell me what unfair advantages I have over women?

[Asker]

@jsdfreedom
Your seats in the cinema are automatically better, and you can carry more weight at a time on average X'D

[markscott]

@jsdfreedom : Perhaps you are not acquainted with the good ol' boy system, that is evident in many organizations. Of course, new laws make this less common. And studies show, when a man goes to a doctor, he is more readily believed, than is his female counter part.

[jsdfreedom]

Ok, let's begin:
1- My seats in the cinema? When I go to the movies, all seats are first come, first serve... and have been my entire life.
2 - Men being "stronger" is an evolutionary trait based on how men and women in hunter-gatheter societies. Men evolved with more physical strength, better eyesight, and higher agility. Women evolved with heightened smell, the ability so see a wider range of colors, and a more loving and nurturing personality. That's why MOST of your healthcare workers are women, while construction crews are mostly men.
3 - The good ol' boy system refers to "my uncle is the captain / CEO / hiring manager and gave me a job. That's moreso nepotism than sexism.
4 - What studies about going to the doctor? I've never heard of this in my entire life. Please cite your sources.

[Asker]

@jsdfreedom
I was just joking. You're taller, so your seat will be better... haha, good one -.-

As for the doctor's thing, maybe that's because women are FAR FAR more likely to go to the doctor for ANYTHING.
Men going less to the doctor overall, and ONLY going when it's absolutely necessary, and maybe not even then, is not a privilege.

That's a statistical illusion.
90% of shark attacks happen at the beach. That doesn't mean you're safer from sharks in the ocean; it's just that the beach is where all the people are at.
100% of all human deaths accured on earth; that doesn't mean you can't die in space.
Statistics like this, or the wage gap, are a joke.
Just like saying "men profit more from marriage", because that's ONLY because women have emotional, vulnerable relationships OUTSIDE of marriage.
It's twisting the facts, so that the gender that is actually BETTER off (namely women) looks like the victim.

[jsdfreedom]

Oh... oh I thought you were serious. My bad! Although as a 5' 11" guy I once dated a girl who was 6' 5" tall... we always sat at the back of the theater because no one could see over her.

[markscott]

Asker: 1. Married men live longer than single men. That's not an opinion, it's a statistical fact. 2. You are safer from sharks in the open ocean, that is, the very open ocean, because there are fewer sharks there. 3. Not all deaths occur on earth. Some occur under and over the earth. And there have been deaths in space. (Russian deaths, that they have not admitted to, but American intelligence is aware of)

[Asker]

1.: That's not the point. Imagine there are two people. One of them has a car, the other doesn't.
I give both of them a car as a gift. The person without a car gains greater profit from that gift than the one who has a car, because in addition to the car itself, he gains mobility and independence, which the other person already has.
That doesn't mean that the person with one car is privileged over the one with two cars. On the contrary.
You can still say: 1 of those 2 people gains profit in a way the other doesn't.

2/3.: Again... completely beside the point. I was illustrating the point that the presentation of statistics can be completely manipulative and dishonest, like in example 1.

What you're doing is the same as answering the question: "What makes one flying pig plus 2 flying pigs?" with: " 0 flying pigs, because flying pigs don't exist.".

[Asker]

Just for the record, I believe we are on the same side here ^^ not trying to pick a fight.

[Anonymous]

because she's openly racist and a cop hater and that's what the liberals embrace. Obviously.
