men can't tolerate pain as much as women can because they don't have to go through the most painful experience on earth: childbirth!
You have kids?
no, but my mother broke her leg when she was 6 months pregnant with me, had to have her bones set (sticking out of her skin, mind you--compound fracture) with no pain medicine due to her being pregnant, developed a blood clot in her lung because she was bed-ridden due to the pregnancy and the broken leg, went into labour when she was too weak to even open her eyes, spent two days in labour, was finally given a caesarean after i had difficulty breathing in the womb, then developed massive boils along the c-section incision which kept popping open. all without pain meds (except for after the c-section). good times.
needless to say, i'm an only child.
i'm going to be very, very careful when i get pregnant.
