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.
