Women feel pain more strongly than men because they complain more

Huh. So men aren't just acting tougher than women; they really are.

Women May Be More Adept Than Men At Discerning Pain

They present it as a superior ability women possess.

If it were the other way around it would be something about women being better at tolerating pain than men.

Relevant quote:

"On average, women report the same stimuli to be more painful than men," Fillingim says, emphasizing that the same stimulus is applied to everybody, so if there are differences in how painful the experience is, it can't be because of the stimulus because it's calibrated to be the same for all.

Now it could be that men are less willing to admit they have pain.

The question should not be about who feels more. It should be about who bears it longer and tolerates more.

Men are oppressing women with their naturally higher pain tolerance?

When it mentioned child birthing I was reminded of something I'd read online where it said birthing was more painful than a guy getting kicked in between his legs.

I dunno how you can say which is more painful? I mean if you're a girl saying that, you aren't a man, you won't ever feel it and know what it's like.

Similarly I've seen 'funny' videos of men feeling labor pain from a simulator and the girls think it's so funny. Maybe I just took it wrong but it's really not funny? I think it's dumb, myself. Why would anyone voluntarily want to be in pain lol. I did look through the comments on one video and one woman said all men should go through that so they'll learn to respect their mothers and wives much better
