Not sure what anecdotal evidence you're leaning on to prop up that argument. My mother used to work herself to the bone even with a cold.

- ErrantX 15y agoAgreed; this is not a gender thing at all. I suffer quite continual pain in my back, and have a bad habit of working through an illness to the point of exhaustion. I know plenty of friends who do the same, rarely complaining. A girl and her brother that I know are constantly ill - and moaning about the smallest thing. So it is a personality issue, I suspect, nothing to do with gender.
- ekianjo 15y agoEvery rule can have exceptions. I do not know if there is any data to back this up, though. Unless you consider that it seems women seem to visit doctors or medical institutions more much often than men (at least in the countries I know of). That could be an indication of this underlying behavior.
