There's no way for you to gain an advantage because regardless of giving birth being a choice (situationally; not as a gender) and that doctors encourage women to take painkillers (kick-in-nuts is too spontaneous for someone to say "Here take these"), neither side knows what they're talking about. Also, the thing about dragging a woman through the common, YOU are the one pointing out she's a woman. As long as he would've done the same thing to a man (he probably would've done worse) you should have no problem with it.
until someone has both given birth AND been kicked in the testicles, which is physically imposslbe, they cannot try and say that the two are comparable -- not if they expect to be taken seriously.

by harmless i mean necessitating medical care.

the spontenaity of a kick to the balls doesnt change the fact that if it's not painful enough for you to go to the hospital, which it generally isnt, i cant logically see it being compared to giving birth.

a person *tried* to kick him -- did not actually succeed -- and then fell on their ass. i dont care whether it was a man or a woman, the fact that the person did not injure anyone means to me that dragging them through the mud is exremely petty and outrageous. not to mention completely immature. why not be the bigger 'man' and walk away? clearly someone who's flipping out about a lighter and falling on their ass is not in their right mind; ie there is something wrong with them, or they are intoxicated. there was absolutely no need to drag anyone through the mud.
