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”.
Pain is NOT a function of gender unless one is referring to some sort of grammatical agony.
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?
I’m female, and I have a high pain threshold. Of course, I am only one individual so that is not a scientific study.
Oh she may be woolly
Them young girls they do get woolly
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah
But when she gets woolly
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah.
— sort of from the movie Bull Durham
When it says “may,” I discount the entire article.
Does this apply to a trans “woman”?
in the case of long term debilitating pain, I doubt believe as a whole there is one wit of a difference between men and women and the abuse of opiates,on the whole, has more to do with having an addictive personality.
Anyway that's my two cents as a long term pain sufferer that surgery has not alleviated and depend, but not dependent on, Opiates to manage my pain. I'll add that I have never once felt any kind of high from the Opiates I take and clearly don't understand those that say they do.
What a tortured attempt at putting a positive spin on being more sensitive to pain. Why don’t they just call it differently sensitized or something?
Hardly. Men whine over the least little cold virus.
God gave women two sets of lips so they could piss and moan at the same time.
I don’t know about that, but there was a study once that said redheads were more sensitive to tactile stimulation, pain or otherwise, than non-redheads. As a redhead myself, how could I possibly judge that? I do know, though, that when I have severe pain, I will take prescribed narcotic pain medication as a last resort, and as small a quantity as I can, to achieve relief.
