How many years do you bet I have to go back and find an NPR article that claims that “women withstand pain better than men” because of childbirth?
Maybe we are just tougher and complain less.
I had a total knee replacement on Friday and was walking outdoors on Sunday, doing stairs today.
Never took a narcotic pain reliever. Only ibuprofen and Tylenol.
Just. F-ing. Do.It.
Fyi, the author used the phrase “exquisite pain.” Makes me wonder ...
Not so sure about that. When discussing which is more painful, childbirth or a kick in the balls, after a year or so, a woman will say, “You know, I think I’d like to have another baby.” A guy whose been kicked in the balls on the other hand,...
individuals transitioning from male to female experienced more pain after the transition,...
There was no transition.
But since they pump themselves with hormones maybe it has something to do with why women feel pain more acutely
The whole man/woman thing is a social construct. Flick it off like a piece of lint.
Declare yourself a transman and the pain will go away.
OR, or, or...
It's a patriarchal plot.
Demand that men be made to suffer more.
I'm sorry. I am in dire need of something sweet and nice.
Blueberry muffinnnnnnnnnnn.....
All I know is when wife and I get the occasional tetanus shot the pain lasts much longer and is more intense for her.
But men are more adept at taking advantage of pain.
They’re certainly good at causing it ...
That’s it, women are more “discerning”.
If the guy had got a kid out of it, he might eventually be up for another kick.
If you could so tolerate pain, what’s up with getting the joint replacement?
At least, that is the way our generation was raised.
The whole concept of women handling pain better than men is a fictional concept that’s been stated over and over simply because it’s hard to prove or disprove. They had to find something to make it sound like women who abort babies are as tough as men who daily work physical labor to bring home the bacon.
Although the hormones may have something to do with it, I'd say that if you decide to have your tool sliced off and want to wear dresses, then you are probably a whiny beeotch who cries a lot over broken fingernails to begin with.
Pain is NOT a function of gender unless one is referring to some sort of grammatical agony.
beat me to it
And a drama queen.
And yet people who want their legs or arms chopped off have to go to South America and pay 25,000 for it.
I read about that illness. The part of the brain that acts like a body map is missing a few cities!!
What’s scarier is that most are very happy with their decision even some years down the road.
But back to the point...why the privates and not legs and arms?
I got a prescription for codone some over twenty years ago for a broken leg. I still have two thirds of them and do take one when my gout gets really extreme which is very seldom since I stopped eating anything good. No beer either.
Why do women complain the office AC is set too cold and they can’t stand it?
If they can accept pain better the men they should just be able to shrug off the cold, huh?
