But, when I was being graded for Karate only days ago, a girl of 15 smacked the sensai in the groin. As she was a higher belt than me, I had to wait on the sides for all the higher belts to finish their gradings. As this happened, I heard from the audience behind me - many women (only) laughing and mocking the sensai for not wearing adequate protection (this move was not part of her training, thus effectively she cheated).
When she came to the side - her mom asked "Did you get him where it hurts" in a very smug fashion, and they laughed about it as if it were just a comical scenario.
As I was still in attendance and not just a viewer, I was unable to say anything - but it reminded me of all the claims that women don't take amusement...
So, we see often in our daily lives women laughing & tittering when men are sexually assaulted - they get asked and they deny it - then we see it again the next day...
Why lie about it?
