Honestly they probably would. Testosterone causes men to feel more severe pain during bouts of sickness or bodily distress. Theres actual biological science behind why men feel worse than women when it comes to something so mundane like the common cold. Labour + testosterone could absolutely be a death sentence and one reason why women and estrogen have the capacity to give birth when men can’t
yeah i tried 😭 i couldn’t find anything that linked testosterone as making it MORE painful and not just a lack of estrogen which could impact it. also there are a lot of other factors that are brought up too. if you have a paper or something that actually talks about it id love to read it but im not combing through the internet for something that might not even matter lol
Like literally the same Cleveland Clinic article you read shows studies for and against the whole “man flu” thing. You only focused on highlighting the ‘against’ portion. If that’s what you want to take away from a quick 10 minute google search of research, so be it. That’s your prerogative, friend
yeah ofc i’m not going to do a deep dive on something when someone else allegedly has proof it’s real and they’re dangling it over my head like a carrot. i focused on that section bc it shows even the ‘proof’ that’s there is circumstantial at best. again if you can prove me wrong PLEASE do it, i would love to learn something new
I never said anything is 100% true though. All I said is there’s science and studies and therefore evidence that shows this could be a true phenomenon. You wanted to focus on the evidence that shows the contrary. You want me to give you definitive 100% proof of something I cannot give you, just like you can’t give me 100% proof on the contrary. Idk why you’re so hard pressed to either be proven right or wrong
then show me a study looking into it! there’s nothing to be offended over, if there’s information proving me wrong that’s fine! that’s how learning works! i don’t know how many times i have to say i WANT to learn something new. you must have read it somewhere literally all im asking is for the link to the article. but if you don’t care you don’t care im not gonna keep arguing with you over this 😭
