a reasonable generalization.

umcanyounot:

Women: Huh, this pain/sickness is pretty uncomfortable but I’ll just keep my mouth shut and deal with it.
Men: This pain/sickness is akin to a couple of fifth graders tying me down in an alley and giving me an appendectomy with rusty screwdrivers.
Men: Have I told you how uncomfortable I am? No? Not in the last five minutes?
Men: Well, I think I might die. I carry all the suffering of the world.

(I pride myself in “thinking like a lady, acting like a man” about sickness. I am the biggest baby when I’m sick. I do not cope.)

(See what I did there with “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man”?)
