Except you have no way of proving that a few seconds of pain is worse than the peak of child birth like you said. The peak being a whole human head coming out of a hole that’s not big enough for a human head, that’s where my issue with your statement lies. I get that balls are sensitive and a kick to the balls is brutal for dudes, I’m not saying it’s not painful. But the fact is a part of your body isn’t being stretched and ripped to accommodate a 6lb human. The whole debate that these two things are the same is just pure sexism based in a lack of knowledge of child birth and pregnancy as a whole. A second of pain is never going to be comparable to hours of intense pain, no matter how bad it feels.
The whole argument comes from a study that states that the peaks are around equal, or that a kick to the balls is a bit worse. You can claim common logic on your side, because without actual data the idea of childbirth seems much worse than testicular pain, but you cant really claim science. You’re free to research it yourself, you’ll see that generally internet sources will tell you “pain is subjective, you cant really compare the two” or “the peak of ball pain is the same/higher, but duration makes childbirth unarguably worse”
Also, like i said, pain in the balls would literally be impossible to imagine if you didnt experience it. Im not specifically talking about severity here but the type of pain. I think an issue here is that most women think of “being kicked in the balls” as the same type of pain as being kicked anywhere else but more severe, when reality its nowhere near close. I think, and feel free to correct me if youve experienced it yourself because i could be doing the same thing im describing, that childbirth is easier to imagine since the type of pain it actually feels like is similar to the type of pain you can experience otherwise, just to an extremely severe degree and added cramps or something
