This study shows men suffering from similar acute pain also manage their pain better, and often ignore their symptoms until more serious treatment is needed. This can shave seven to eight years off a man's life.
In what sense is ignoring symptoms until one dies 7-8 years early "managing their pain better"??? Isn't this an example of the very thing the report is talking about - seeing this supposed men's attitude toward pain as "better"?
(I don't believe a word of it, by the way - the men in my life have mostly complained very vocally about their pain.)
