Considering the amount of bodily function stuff women put up with as a matter of course, no wonder we cope better. We just get on with the job. There is also the research on pain tolerance levels for redheads too...we have two redheaded daughters and can vouch that their pain tolerance is pretty high and strangely enough little or no side effects when using pain killers eg endone... when our younger daughter had her ovarian cyst removed she was on it for a short while, no side effects at all...i take one and it hits me like a truck!
Though on the funnier side i do remember a recent tv ad on the flu and the bloke saying that it took him 6 weeks to get over it...more like man flu i thought...men tend to groan louder which makes more people take notice...maybe we should do the same.
