This is the most bogus study I have ever read. Tell me that men deal with cramps and labor pains. Women that I know work every day with chronic pain...arthritis, fibroneuralgia, pinched nerves, etc.
Men with similar conditions call in sick or are on disability.

I agree with you. I don't believe this at all.

So all men with similar conditions call in sick or are on disability? Gimmie a break?

This absolutely must be an April Fool's joke....can't imagine men being able to stand menstrual cramps and labor pains. Every guy I've known has been a big baby when it comes to pain. They get a little sniffle in their nose and have to lay in bed all day being mothered. Women just endure on, embracing the pain as they get their work done.

Are women more emotional and also show this in pain tolerance?

There is no question of this in my household.

My husband doesn't have a pain threshold. He has a DISCOMFORT threshold. He can't stand to be hot, hungry, or itchy, let alone in pain. For tooth extractions, he had to be on hydrocodone.
I had the same tooth extractions and needed not 25% of the medication he needed.
I had both my children with NO anesthetic.
Ask almost any woman on this forum. You will find that the big babies on pain are their husbands/boyfriends.
I don't have a "study", but I know what I know.

Tell me that men deal with cramps...Believe me - we do. Why? Because we want to be with that special woman after her cramps are gone.
To: Senator Pardek
And, when you get the flu or a cold, do you whine and demand pampering? Do you go to work without complaining?
I doubt it.
One time I was in the emergency room with heart races, and my husband asked the nurses if they had any cold medicine for him.
Case closed.

They get a little sniffle in their nose and have to lay in bed all day being mothered. It's called a good excuse. ;)

Breaking a nail hasn't anything to do with pain. It PO's women because they have an ugly, broken nail which they will have to have fixed at the salon.
To: ArrogantBustard
Demonstrate your opinion with some anecdotal evidence. I have.
In addition, I do remember Ashley Montague's book, The Natural Superiority of Women.
