213.0. "A kick in the ...." by 43GMC::KEITH (Dr. Deuce) Mon Mar 18 1996 07:50

* In a December medical journal, University of New Hampshire
researchers found that one adolescent boy in ten has been kicked
in the testicles by another kid, 
    
    40% of the time by girls.  
    -------------------------
    
    
    Boys who wear glasses or have other physical limitations are three
times more likely to be kicked, and a year after the kicking, one-
fourth of the victims still suffered depression from the incident.
[USA Today-Journal of the American Medical Association, 12-6-
95] 
    
    
    Is this sexual harassment? What is the difference between this an a
    grab of the (female) breast?

It's assault, which is a level above harassment.

    Nope, not sexual harassment.  Assault and battery.  More on the order
    of hitting the breast with a fist or kicking in the ovaries.

    I was playing intermurel foot ball and there was a woman on one of the
    opposing teams who seem to enjoy this sort of.... tom foolery. She
    kicked me, and kicked another male player. Finally in a huddle we had
    determined that she was a real threat. We had a discussion with the ref
    and vocaled our problems. She was removed from the game.

when I was 10 years old, one of the neighbors daughters,
who was about 3 years older than me, did this to me
in my backyard..

I wound up in the hospital having surgery for
the hernier she caused..

My Sister Cheryl who witnessed the whole thing, caught
up with the girl as she tried to scoot out the backyard
to her own yard,,,,  Cheryl, quite mad, beat the crap 
out of her, but the damage was done,,,  I still remember 
the pain though,, it was tremendous....
