    So like… Are people thinking this is serious, and not recognizing the fact that it’s pointing out ridiculous arguments that some Bad-faith argumentatives like to make?

    I’ve heard plenty of people in all seriousness say women don’t understand the pain of getting hit in the balls, but like… Nobody sane and rational actually believes that.

    If you really DO think women, who have ENTIRE HUMANS SHOCED OUT OF THEIR VAGINA, can’t understand pain? Yes, getting hit in the balls hurts. I’ve been hit more times than I care to remember.

    If anyone really DOES think women don’t get that kind of searing pain, look up “Childbirth perineal tear” and promptly lose all confidence in your argument.

      Lol, this was one of those memes that I almost didn’t post because it’s playing off of a stereotype for men (taken to an absurd degree for humor), and I thought it might be interpreted as serious criticism.

      I was banking on this audience’s love for self-deprecating jokes outweighing its discomfort with touching on gender stereotypes. 83% upvotes / 17% down is probably about right.

        Usually also the people who laughed will just upvote and move on, where the people who are offended will downvote and then post a comment

      I don’t think that getting kicked in the balls is even that painful. It’s very debilitating like getting punched in the diaphragm, but in my opinion something like dislocating your patella is higher in the pure pain level.
