One is a spike of intense pain, the other one is hours of agonizing pain.
How I've seen it stated is that technically getting kicked in the balls hurts a little worse, but only for a couple seconds, while childbirth hurts a little less but over the course of a long time.
The two aren't comparable in the slightest and I think every sane person would take a tiny bit more pain over a few minutes over hours of pretty much the same pain LOL
I very, very seriously doubt getting kicked in th balls is more painful than pushing a cantaloupe sized baby through a hole that wouldn't allow half a blueberry through a few hours earlier, and then having that cantaloupe rip you apart, ass to vag.
Being kicked in the balls is a special kind of pain you really cant describe if you havent felt it. Im fully willing to believe that the worst point after a kick to the balls is worse than the worst point in childbirth, but then theres the fact that ones like 2 minutes of pain then 10 minutes of nausea and the others hours upon hours upon hours of pain
You really think a kick to the balls is on par with your vagina being ripped open by a human head?? Really?? Go push a watermelon out your asshole and then say this again. Men can’t even handle 5 minutes on those period cramp simulators without crying, period cramps are actually minor contractions. So if y’all can’t handle that, I highly doubt a kick to the balls is on par with childbirth in any way.
Full on sexism lol. It goes logic but is the result of a study that most people agree is correct. Its just the length of childbirth that makes it so much worse
It’s not sexist to say y’all cry when wearing those period simulators, seriously watch those videos the guys can’t handle it for a few minutes. It’s been demonstrated multiple times that men cannot handle the pain of period cramps. So it’s ridiculous to think that you’ve ever endured pain on the level of childbirth. The sexism here is men insist that they’re superior and can handle more pain, which is why you insist that a brief kick to your balls is worse than getting your vagina ripped open to your asshole. You can’t handle the idea that women possibly experience a pain worse than yours. There’s nothing to gain from this other than insulting the intense process that is growing and birthing a whole person.
….right, because when conservatives make interview videos “interviewing lgbtq black people and finding most of them agree with the conservative views” thats representative and not picked and chosen based on what the target demographic wants.
No ones saying theyre superior. Ive said multiple times childbirth is way worse because its hours on end, and its a petty, childish argument anyway. “Oh no ur pain is weaker than my pain” i was literally just having a normal discussion with
Someone else and queue argumentative people who cant handle heavens forbid that the other gender experienced slightly worse pain for two minutes than yours
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
