Australian Study Says Men Are Softies About Pain
Submitted by Adam on Tue, 2004-11-23 03:42
Dr. Dan writes "A study in Australia found that men take more narcotics than women even when the pain level is the same. "Men's reputations as being big softies when confronted with pain could also help explain the result," said Prof. Mari Botti, the woman who chairs the research unit where the study was done.
Isn’t it tiresome that when men complain about pain, we’re babies or "softies," but when we tough it out, we’re harangued for just trying to be macho?"
