My assumption has always been that women’s bodies have built-in functionality that put them through varying degrees of discomfort from time to time (periods, pregnancy, menopause), whereas men’s bodies generally only aren’t at 100% when we’re sick. So, when women get sick, it’s more of a, “aw man, I feel crappy again, that sucks”, but when men get sick, it’s like, “oh no, why do I feel like this, what’s happening to me?!”
Man I wish I could find it. But that’s pretty much the assumption that it didn’t find evidence for. Apparently it’s really more a matter of whether you’re sozialised female or male.
