Squeeze Testicles In Self Defense

Why are females taught to do this in self defense?? It can cause death and if a female is defending her self from a male who isn’t trying to kill or rape her, she will get in trouble if she kills him.
I read how it’s taught in self defense classes and how it can cause death, so is this really something we should be teaching in those classes??
You aren’t allowed to kill someone in self defense, only if they are trying to kill you.
