Breast Attack: Difference between revisions

[['''Breast Attack]]''' is the [[Distaff Counterpart]] to [[Groin Attack]], since receiving blunt trauma to the breasts is painful for women, though probably not as painful as [[Groin Attack]] is for men (not that many people can be a proper judge of that). The nipples are also rather sensitive, though this is also true for men to a lesser extent.

In reality, a [[Groin Attack]] is much more dangerous and painful for women than a [['''Breast Attack]]''', not even so much because of genitalia but more because of being a site of most major vital nerves and blood-vessels to the lower extremities. However, in a fight, breasts are a much easier target, which is why the [['''Breast Attack]]''' is much more common than a female [[Groin Attack]].

A [['''Breast Attack]]''' is sometimes intended to show that the [[Always Male|male]] attacker is [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|playing dirty]] (and [[Would Hit a Girl|against a woman too]], [[Double Standard|how low!]]). You're supposed to wince at this one, but this trope is occasionally [[Played for Laughs]]. If the victim is already a [[Butt Monkey]], it's okay to laugh. Or if it's [[Cat Fight|a woman doing it to another woman]]. Or a man [[Comedic Sociopathy|getting a purple nurple]].

* ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' this is a common trick (mostly by the Tendo sisters) to subdue Ranma in female form, mostly because Ranma - a guy who's cursed to transform into a woman - is still unused to the enhanced sensitivity and [[Rule of Funny|because it's funny.]]

* [[Scott Pilgrim|"You punched me in the boob!]] [[Prepare to Die|Prepare to die]], [[Serious Business|obviously!"]]

* In ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]'', The Chosen One defeats a cow he is fighting by milking it.

* In an unfilmed scene from an early draft of ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'', Jeanie Bueller is talking with one of her friends; her friend pisses her off, and Jeannie responds, "I'll sock your tits."

* In ''[[Crank (Film)|Crank 2: High Voltage]],'' a prostitute is shot in the breasts, though it only causes her implants to leak.

* In Book 5 of ''[[The Faerie Queene]]'', during Britomart's [[Combat Byby Champion]] with Radigund, the narrator notes that the two women did not "spare each other's most tender parts," or something like that, despite both being women and therefore knowing how much it would hurt. I guess we have here the logic behind [[Cat Fight]] and [[Designated Girl Fight]].

* In an early chapter of ''[[Friday (Literaturenovel)|Friday]]'', the heroine is tortured by having one of her nipples cut off. This being science fiction, [[Unexplained Recovery|her doctor is able to regrow the body part,]] but it is good for a guilt trip later in the novel when she meets one of her captors.

* In ''[[The Iliad (Literature)|The Iliad]]'', after [[Action Girl|Athena]] K.O.'s Ares with a boulder, Aphrodite goes to help him. Well, Athena is still angry: "She charged at Aphrodite, overtook her and beat her breasts with clenched fists." As one would expect from the wimpy Aphrodite, "Down she sank with Ares, resistance quite dissolved."

* From the [[Ian Fleming]] novel ''[[James Bond (Literaturenovel)|Dr No]]'', describing the murder of a female [[MI 6]] agent: "The man smiled broadly. Slowly, lovingly, he lifted the gun and shot her three times in and around the left breast."

* [[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Wayne Brady]] apparently thinks that purple nurples are part and parcel of a female prison riot (the "persona" he got saddled with in ''Lets make a Date'').

* An episode of ''[[Yes, Dear]]'' has Kim accidentally doing this to the then-wife of her husband's boss while playing tennis. Good thing her husband didn't get punished for this.

{{quote| '''Christine:''' Ow...she punched me in the boob. Can you do that?<br />

'''Jimmy's Boss:''' *annoyed* Yeah.<br />

* [[Pearl Jam (Music)|Pearl Jam]], "Jeremy": "He gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast"

* The webcomic ''[http://www.exiern.com Exiern]'' has a classic one: The main character Tiffany is a male barbarian hero who has been trapped in female form by an evil wizard. She wants to be a man again but since she's a barbarian she absolutely''hates'' the local priesthood. So her sidekick Peonie ties her to the altar--foraltar—for her own good, of course--andcourse—and orders the priests to attempt the ritual. After the inevitable failure Peonie admits in trepidation that she'd she'd been counting on [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]] to stave off retribution. Cut to the next page, where Peonie can't get over her shock that Tiffany "punched me in the boob"!

* There's a [[Running Gag]] in ''[[Venus Envy]]'' where Zoe is hit in her [[TranssexualTranssexualism|growing breasts and vestigial testes]] in quick succession.

* [[Psycho Lesbian|Gail]] attacks her nemesis with one in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120723010053/http://whenshewasbad.smackjeeves.com/comics/297539/6-20/ this] ''[[When She Was Bad]]'' comic. Note that they both have mild [[Super Strength]] (Owwwww!).

* ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'': A stripper accidentally gets her breasts pierced by hypodermic needles, causing her implants to deflate. As soon as that happens, her mind clears and she says, "I remember now! I was going to be a civil engineer!"

{{quote| "Roger, that was terrible. We were the only people in period dress and your fake French accent got me punched in the boob."}}

*** In addition to having her throat slashed, rumors abounded that Nicole Brown Simpson's ''breasts'' were deliberately slashed off in the attack as well-- howeverwell—however the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130517162537/http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cas45.htm coroner's report] refutes these rumors entirely.

* This blog, dealing with self-defense for women (and in this case, ''against'' one) (NSFW): [http://femaledefense.blogspot.com/2008/06/breast-punch.html?zx=34f82eb1b9b68cad Breast Punch]{{Dead link}}

* Boob tag. Which is like regular tag, but the only legal tag is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|tagging another participant's breast]]. Typically only played by women.
