    I stubbed my toe the other day and it felt worse than getting your head chopped off

      Let me fix that…

      “I stubbed my toe the other day and it LITERALLY felt worse than getting your head chopped off”

        To be fair, if a guillotine is used, the blood pressure drop is probably going to knock you out before the searing pain prior to death kicks in, so a stubbed toe could arguably feel worse

    I ate ice cream too fast and when I held my head and said “oooo” a nearby mom said that’s how she felt during labor.

    Women have modern medicine and painkillers but the only repreive men have in their suffering is to be waited on hand and foot by their SO.

    My grand mother said kidney stones are way worse than giving birth.

    As a human equipped with testicules, I can confirm that (in my opinion) kidney stones are indeed way worse than getting hit in the balls.

    All genders can get them. So all genders can suffer excruciating pain. If you want to test it out simply start drinking lots of tea and water containing a high quantity of minerals (that’s not the same as “mineral water”), you can thank me later after you asked someone to “please hit me in the head with a shovel so I pass out” because of the pain.

    Ever had testicular torsion?

    Ever had a doctor attempt to untwist the testicular torsion without anesthesia? There isn’t a strong enough pain med to prevent or help with that sort of pain.

    Yes attempt. They did see how much that didn’t work and got me into surgery.

    What part of the world does this idea come from? Men in general definitely don’t complain about pain more than any other gender in my region. I have noticed a gender difference between taking a nap, walking it off, and taking drugs. I could probably generalize a bit about who prefers rest, who prefers to grin and bare it, and who prefers to try to medicate it.

      I’ve heard this a lot in the US. It’s usually just said in a teasing manner, not seriously in a “going to impact the care you received at the hospital” manner.

      It’s enough that people make memes about it at least.

    I had a ruptured appendix. I was told by women that it is almost similar to labor pains in terms of pain level. It felt like someone was kicking me in the stomach every 2 seconds.
