Why do people think feeling groin pain is a guys-only experience?

It really makes no sense to me when I keep hearing guys going how getting kicked in the groin being apparently something us women don’t understand. I honestly don’t fucking get it.

Here’s a comment from Quora supposedly coming from a woman who thinks her experience is how ALL women experience:

”Yes, it CAN hurt a lot to get hit down there. However…

In my opinion, it does not hurt that much. I would honestly compare it to being kicked in the shin. Whilst I do not have testicles, I can tell with my own eyes that a guy getting kicked down there hurts somewhere in the region of five times. I have seen small children hit 6ft guys built like Hulk Hogan down there and reduce him to a cowering mess for a minute as everyone watches. It is an incomparable amount of pain. I do not wear a cup for the same reason I do not wear shin guards.

Let’s not kid ourselves: it is a LOT easier to hit a man in the groin than it is to hit a woman. The target is larger from the front, larger from the back, larger from the side, and can be easily grabbed (not that anyone would do the latter in Taekwondo, but i’m sure that there is a martial art out there where that is a possibility). Catching a woman in the ‘’sweet spot’’, especially when she is on guard, is a rarity.

As an aside, because this is not a personal reason of mine, I have noticed that guys generally do not think about hitting a woman in the groin whereas both men and women are very eager to hit a guy in the groin. This is probably due to the reasons above I mentioned. Honestly, the only time in my life I have actually been in a fight where by groin (and breasts for that matter) were a target was against a particularly vicious girl back in school who liked to get in close with her talons.”

Which is funny because we’ve seen proof time and time again that women can feel “nut shots“ too. And is she really that fucking stupid? Does she really think men aren’t going to hit women? Because, my gal, I’ve seen a shit ton of videos AND comments where men are WILLING to hit and even KILL women with no remorse! I guarantee she didn’t even fact check this one!

Come to think of it, this is probably just a man pretending to be a woman just so he can spew out the most ignorant bullshit.

Okay, what in the actual fuck is this? Why the fuck is this dude getting such an enjoyment over women suffering in pain? Do these guys really think women don’t suffer groin injuries?

I fucking swear to god these rage-bait videos make me fucking sick! It’s shit like this that brainwashes women with the misconception that only men can have groin problems!

And because women’s pain is invalidated, it becomes dangerous. When we come up with the idea that women are immune crotch pain, it tells us that we aren’t viewed as people compared to men. The media tells us that we have a so-called female privilege that women’s crotches are immune to injuries.

That leads us to ignore any physical problems with our anatomy by believing a group of men who think they know more about the female anatomy than we know ourselves. And because the health industry, like most other industries, is male-dominant, we foolishly took it for granted.

The reality is, however, that women do feel pain down there, and it should not be ignored. Our vaginas have more nerves compared to the penis, and although penises are more visible and more vulnerable to pain, that doesn’t mean we should dismiss any pain regarding female genitalia. We have bones and tissues surrounding our clitorises so of course it’s going to fucking hurt!

Why can’t they see that we’re human and we suffer injuries down there too?
