I can only think women feel more pain, I am thinking of their Makosi style reaction to shin knocks. Perhaps a woman can confirm this?
I guess men play up when they are sick, I can't handle a migraine. But i am immune from reaction to even the most catastrophic accidents, i assume men are built for fighting and women for having babies and the pain thing is different depending on internal or external.

I would say it's difficult to quantify pain, and far from being a male/female thing, it's very much down to the individual. I guess you're going to have a few replies telling you about the childbirth thing... although it isn't so painful women only go through it once. Some women are tough and some aren't. Same with men. I've had a couple of wasp stings, and while they don't tickle, they didn't call for the fuss Makosi made. And yes, asking for a doctor made her look pathetic.
