  everything in the bible is important...
  
  remember this is from the book of the law... so there are many things that are to the law... so if a woman comes and touches  another man's genitals that is very disrespectful, not to her alone, but to her man also, dont you agree?
  
  when Jesus came, He spoke but did not force, or hold people them by their genitals... and also remember the time of this passage, maybe it was a common way females stopped fights?
  
  if you want a meditation, you can look at it, if you see a fight between your loved one and another, dont hold a person by his weakest point, so you can favor your loved one...
  
  also on a side note stop watching atheist videos or videos that are attacking the faith, and when you read the bible read it with understanding, and let your spirit talk to you, not just your brain... find the explanations, and the commentaries before you say, "a verse is thrown for hahahaha's"

  so does this verse have any importance, or is it just a verse thrown in for hahaha's.
  
  11 “If two men fight together, and the wife of one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the genitals, 12 then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not pity her
  Deuteronomy 25:11-12
  
  
  
  
  I do agree, this would certainly stop the fight.  :o
  
  I agree that it is definitely one to do with a specific event or time period. If women had a tendency to do this to stop fights then the law may have made it inappropriate.
  
  Maybe you should see what any of the Church father's commentaries say on it.
