Guy Uses Brutal Analogy To Clarify Women’s Rage Today So Men Can Get It
A.R. Moxon has recently invited all men to participate in an exercise of empathy. He reframed women's experiences with assault and sexual violence and presented it in a way that most men should comprehend.
Writer A.R. Moxon used a blunt analogy to make a point about women’s fear, anger, and the way men often respond to it. By comparing women’s experiences with violence and sexual assault to something most men instantly understand, he tried to make the issue feel harder to dismiss.
The post landed in a tense moment, with protests building around Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation and renewed attention on abuse, accountability, and how society treats women’s stories. Moxon’s comparison sparked strong reactions because it pushed the conversation into uncomfortable territory.
That discomfort is exactly what made the post spread so fast. Read on.
Moxon admits that his analogy is not perfect, and he has received a lot of feedback since he shared it, both positive and negative.
"I chose nut-kicking because there isn’t a man alive who doesn’t understand exactly what a nut-shot is, and, with very few exceptions, none who would ever want it, seek it out, or go out ‘asking’ for it," he clarified.
"Most importantly, no man confuses getting kicked in the nuts with sex. It’s very clearly violence, even though it involves sex organs."
"The idea of growing up in a society where getting hoofed in the balls is normalized behavior, systematically if tacitly allowed by a complicit society, and frequently confused with a pleasurable activity like sex, would rightfully be horrifying to any guy."
Julius GhostAnd this post comes at the right time. There are protests around the world as Judge Brett Kavanaugh has just been approved to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The protesters are trying to direct the public’s attention to issues still present in modern society, sexual abuse and assault. "I can’t imagine women’s rage today," Moxon said.
"But this exercise, while abstract, helped me get nearer to it than I’d been. The Kavanaugh confirmation proves once again that one of the primary drivers of our society right now is normalized abuse and enablement of abuse," he added.
"In such a society, the telling of wrong is itself seen as the wrong. It’s unutterably sad."
"It’s why the country has a bully with the mind of a cruel child as president, supported by power and cheered by crowds. I think you can see, if you want to, that there is a powerful political party that doesn’t care about women at all and thinks not caring is good."
I dare hope more of us see this clearly now than we did before.
