One of my most vivid childhood memories was going in to my parents' bedroom one morning and trying to get my dad out of bed. He wouldn't get up & kept pretending to be asleep, so, in a fit of anger, I hit him to make him wake up. Guess where I got him? Yup!!Seeing him cry out in agony, and double up in pain was extremely traumatic for a little girl(I was about 9 years old at the time)I was scared and upset, and ran off crying. My mum came after me to comfort me, and explained why I should never hit a man in his "special place", and that night my dad took the trouble to show me his testicles and explained how sensitive they were. All this came as a revelation to me, because up to that moment, men had always seemed so big and strong!That they could be crippled with agony by a small girl's feeble punch was almost unbelievable! And so it was inevitable that I try out my newly discovered super-power on a boy, and my first victim was my neighbor's boy, steven.He was about two years older than me, and was always teasing me about something - often sending me rushing indoors in tears. Kicking him just didn't occur to me, but I knew that a punch would work, so when he was lying down I let him have it just like I had hit my dad.I was soooo disappointed when it didn't seem to hurt him to the same extent, and it was some time before I realised that puberty increases the size & sensitivity of the testicles to such a degree. It wasn't till I was in year 6 or 7 that I rediscovered the fatal weakness that boys have, and I must admit I do get a lot of pleasure out of seeing a cocky, arrogant guy doubled over in agony at the hands (or knee, or foot!)of a smaller, weaker girl! There is a sort of karma about the fact that the very organs that give a man his greater strength are also his greatest weakness! And I have had cause to be grateful for that weakness, having been attacked by a creep when I was 17. I would certainly have been raped by him that night if I hadn't grabbed his balls and squeezed like hell!(I only managed to get hold of one of them, but it caused him to scream and curl up in agony, allowing me to get away) The fact that I had fought him off, and hurt him at the very core of his sexual being was very empowering, and I will definitely being be explaining to my daughters when they are a bit older that they needn't live in fear of men.

fortunately haven't had them kicked in a while.... sure takes the wind out of you
