Next time you see some idiot laughing at a guy getting kicked in the crotch, send them here -
You know, when I saw this, I wasn't laughing at all. That woman is in immense pain and you can see it. Yet it seems there's a whole generation of people out there who think that laughing at a man getting hurt either accidentally or otherwise is empowering, or funny, or justice or retribution or some other stupidity ...
And no, don't tell me to get over or grow up it or some other shit like that. Since when is someone getting hurt remotely amusing?
I know why most people laugh - if they're women likely it's getting off on their own moral superiority and seeing a man and his manhood in dire straits is somehow uplifting to them; if it's men laughing it's because they simply don't have a pair to really understand what it's like. Can't help but notice the stench of hatred and disgust behind that now.
But either way it's bullshit.
And don't call me misogynist. I don't post that video because I somehow like to see people hurt. I post it because it's my hope when people see it, they react as I did - with empathy - and begin to wonder why this sort of thing was ever amusing to them to begin with. And perhaps, the next time they see a man in a similar circumstance, they'll react the same way with empathy instead of ridicule.
Getting hurt is getting hurt, regardless of the gender. And people who feel empathy for one gender and not the other are a bunch of hypocrites, and certainly not something future generations should pay attention to.
