If men were to give birth, there would be a lot less whining.

[crash3837]

I have had a few arguments with girls about things like "If it were the other way around men having babies they wouldn't be able to handle the pain like a woman can, because men whine so much, and are little babies when they get sick that need to be pampered"
I just have a hard time buying this. How many of you have seen a guy get drilled in the face, slapped, cut, burnt, ect. Now for those of you that have, do you remember the guy getting hysterical balling his eyes out,,, No you didn't. Now given that its a woman getting smacked, getting cut, or a bruise, who cries their eyes out, who whines at the smallest amount of pain??? I'm not purposely trying to piss off any women here but I just think men would handle it better.

agreed, for all the times that i've been hurt bad, i never cried (cept when i was little), just yelled and went into a rage, it seems to work better than crying i guess. But im sure its still going to hurt!

Maybe if we had vaginas. If I had to pass an 8lb baby through my ass, I'd need 2 epidermals, a couple shots of 151 and a fat hooter.

Let's see how well you do with kidney stones first before you start talking about handling the pain of child labor.

Crash those injuries you speak about are nothing compared to child birth. I've seen just as many tuff women as I have seen so called tuff guys. I've seen plenty of guys balling there eyes out over nothing also.

Crash how old are you?

Although it differs from person to person, women in general have a higher threshhold to pain than men.

I disagree. How do you figure that bro?

 

[absolute hardgainer]

Men don't have the biological need to have an 8 pound baby removed from their uterus via their vagina. this means they don't require such a high threshhold for pain. For a woman to bear the pain of childbirth she needs to be more pain tolerable. Although a lot of men don't like to show it because of social conditioning they actually can't deal with physical pain as much as women.

I don't know about a lot less whining, but I bet that there would be a lot less child birth going on.

I can agree with that part, but as far as overall threshold for pain, is this your opinion or has it been proven?

 

[absolute hardgainer]

Pain is too subjective for this to be proven, I think. The evidence for it is anecdotal - but fairly compelling.

It's no more proven than men saying they could handle child birth better. How do prove that.

It will always be a matter of opinion.

 

[Latimer]

From my experience I tend to think that men in general have a much higher threshold for pain. It is too subjective to judge though.

People in general male or female have different tolerance for pain. Everyone's experience with pain is not the same. You are correct the only proven fact that it is subjective and subjective at best.

Kryp2o,,, I am 22yrs old. I myself have not seen just as many tough women as guys. I'm not talking about toughness or being tough I'm saying if a guy gets smacked he usually blows it off, if a girl gets smacked she pisses and moans about how hard she got hit, she could of died or been hurt permenantly ect. I just think guys handle pain better. So you see this is why I get in arguments about this, beccause I'm a guy and it is not humanly possible for me to give birth to a baby, so I have no right to say what I do yada yada yada.

 

[WarriorPL]

the most painful thing i ever went through was apendicitis(sp?) my apendix was so infected it was ready to burst, which would most likely have killed me.

This is a ridiculous argument. How can you compare being smacked around or kicked in the stomach with having a baby? Sure, a man can usually shrug off a slap or a punch (societal conditioning; "be a man!", "suck it up!"), but labor is excrutiating pain that can last for over 24 hours sometimes. How do you think you would really handle cramps in your stomach and sharp pains through your back every five minutes for 16 hours? A lot of men wish they were dead when they're bedridden with the flu. Women should be canonized for the pain they go through to bring life into this world.

 

[HappyScrappy]

if I recall correctly there are many studies out there that show women to be far more tolerant to pain than men.

agreed that I'm tired of hearing about how I'm such a pussy - but that's between me and my mom...

 

[_Outlaw]

I think men are just as much whinners as women...

 

[Slice of Peach2]

Ya'll wouldn't be here if men had the babies. Men can't handle pain.
