Why do girls/women favor the groin above all other targets on a guy's body in self defense ?

Question

Does it give them a feeling of greater empowerment, or for a sweeter revenge ?

Besides, there are other effective targets like the eyes, nose, throat, kneecap, and instep.

I personally think it's especially vicious and unfair, and shouldn't be taught to and used by any female under any circumstances !!!

Answer 1

We go for the groin because

1. It's an easy target
2. It requires less force for an equal or greater amount of pain
3. If it is in self-defense all rules of civility are off
4. It really freaks guys out (as is evidenced by your question)

Answer 2

Like Leonard S said...it's not about fair. If you don't intend to put someone down for the big sleep, you don't need to be fighting. In a self defense situation you need to worry about yourself and expect that they mean the same to you, so cheat to win. If the groin is their weakness, the groin it is, but I'm also a fan of the eye gouge based on availability of options. Now if it was a male of any other species, choke the filthy bugger on your fist. They might gnaw/maul you a lil bit before you get your fingers on their tongue, but you'll stop em so long as it's not a biggun like a bear!

Answer 3

A woman has little upper body strength compared to men. She does, however, have good lower body strength. It's a lot easier and more effective to knee a guy in the groin than to go for his eyes, nose, etc. And going for the throat is no guarantee either, unless she just so happens to have a weapon in her hand.

And as Z pointed out, when it comes to self-defense, all bets are off. If you never attack a woman, you will probably never have to experience this.

Answer 4

If a bad guy is seriously attacking you then his groin area is the most sensitive area so that the attacker will be hurt (even with a light kick!) and give the women a chance to get away. Sometimes the attacker will hold a women's arm back so she has to kick there. I do believe that groin-kicking should only be done in SERIOUS circumstances. Best of luck!

Answer 5

I don't think it's unfair at all if the guy is unprovokedly attacking the woman and it's a serious attempt to rape her or injure her etc. in such a situation it is reasonable, including legally if your life is at risk, to use whatever force you can and any guy who attacks a woman deserves it. It can be an easy target and an easy way to get the guy to stop.

Answer 6

well for one thing, it's vicious and unfair for a woman to need to use self defense against a guy. ever think of that? and besides, it's quick and it works. you would too if you were a girl.

Answer 7

because it is an easy target. and doesnt take much force to hurt. and well frankly, if a guy has done soemthing bad enuff for a gurl to hit him in the "area" then he prolly deserves it.
But doing it for no reason, thats just stupid.

Answer 8

we do this because it an easier target than the other spots u mentioned, we knw it hurts u guys, u dont have to hit that hard to cause pain and helps if ur in danger and sometimes when u make us realllyy pissed it helps us feel better

Answer 9

Countless females throughout history have saved themselves from attack by exploiting this particular weakness in a guy !

That our knee can strike his weak spot, and cause him to:

doubleover
fall to the ground
curl up into a fetal position
moan and groan ( "my b*lls, my b*lls") in incapacitating pain

and all the while clutching his bruised bits is an incredible disadvantage for him - but a gratifying, welcome, and empowering advantage for us !!!

It gives us time to skedaddle to safety !
