    Because men don’t spend every fourth week going through physical and mental chaos as a “this is life now” deal.

    See how stoic and composed a woman is when they have the flu, for comparison. Men have quite the psychological disadvantage when their bodies feel “uncomfy”.

      You do know that “hitting the wall” is a physiological thing and not a mental thing right? Like you’ve physically depleted glycogen storage in your muscles causing the severe fatigue we reference as “hitting the wall”. Mental fortitude will not make the muscles work well again when that happens, no matter how much you have.

        Yeah, if anything this comment would be inverted. Women would have the fortitude to push through any mental struggle and would hit the wall more often.
