This is really weird. Is this the reason why the Irish are always getting in fist fights? I guess the fiery personalities of redheads require pain suppression. Also, I read somewhere (on FR, no doubt) that red hair is a neanderthal trait.

Yup, you indeed read that article here. It's from April 2001. Here's the link: Redheads 'are neanderthal'

THBBBBBPPPPPPP. LOL. Actually, the article doesn't say that us female redheads deal better with pain, just that they react well to a certain drug for pain. Personally, I get nauseated when I get a paper cut.
