If there's an increase in images of ballbusting it's more because we exist as an audience who enjoys watching it than because of anything to do with feminism. Some individual feminists are messed up of course but overwhelmingly the larger problem is the agency and boundaries of women being abrogated for the benefit of men. There's backlash against that, and backlash against the backlash, but the way forward is to help women feel listened to and not disrespected, and to support boys to grow up with emotional competence and with a clear understanding of the importance of not imposing oneself on another, but instead establishing mutual respect and reciprocity. There's a long way to go still but many feminist thinkers have contributed to that. Anyway don't blame them because some pervy animator catered to your fetish in a video that's ridiculous.
Kicking someone in the balls is basically the physical equivalent of shoving something down a woman's crotch in the hopes of damaging their ovaries(which, sounds a lot like r-a-p-e to me). It's sexual violence, and it really shouldn't be taught to children as an appropriate way to deal with problems. Even if this guy was inappropriately approaching her(which is not the case in this context, as all he's doing is telling her something she doesn't like), this still wouldn't be an appropriate response. Imagine a woman getting in a guy's personal space or inappropriately touching a guy, and his response was to deck her in the face or punt her in the vag. This would be considered assault and excessive force by any regards and that guy would be going to jail.


And, yeah, this is what a lot of female empowerment is teaching young girls; and feminist literature is full of misandry and emasculation/castra-tion fantasies. Feminism is not about equality, and they sure as shit aren't opposed to stuff like this. Even if this wasn't something that feminists would consider acceptable entertainment for young girls(which, they clearly do), their silence speaks volumes too. Mainstream media has been riddled with violence against men for decades(I challenge you to find a single movie, even a child's movie, that doesn't feature violence against men in some capacity), without the slightest peep from women or feminists against it. Feminism is inherently sexist and, worse, it caters misandric women(if not outright enables/defends them).


Feminism does not empower boys, all the contrary, and it's scary that anyone could actually believe that it does. The harm that feminism is causing to young boys is dangerous, if not a global crisis at this point, and there is no excuse to be ignorant or complicit into it. Boys are growing up feeling disenfranchised, hated for their sexuality and vilified. Imagine being a boy and seeing society telling that sexual violence against you is okay, because you probably deserved it or had it coming(even if you did nothing wrong). Imagine being a boy and being told you are an oppressor, even as women walk all over you and are cheered on for it. Imagine being a boy growing up being virgin-shamed and creep-shamed for your sexuality; while women are celebrated for being as celibate or promiscuous as they want to be. Imagine being a boy growing up internalizing that level of misandry on that daily basis, and what effect that might have to his psych(something which could even be related to the rise of ballbusting/castra-tion fantasies in men, possibly even in the disparity between MtF and FtM trans, specifically over the past few decades).
