I think this just became my Facebook status update. 😃

This ignorance is also dangerous to women, who will try this stunt with no training, and then be surprised that just about every male has developed protective reflexes when something comes at their family jewels.

Nowadays, no, most medical people don’t take what Freud has to say seriously. But in his time and afterwards, people DID consider him to be a diety, who had issued The Truth.

I’ve never tried kicking or kneeing a guy in the jewels as a feint. Mostly I put forth my effort to a punch in the gut, which my attackers didn’t expect from a girl.
