But on the other hand, I'd rather get sicker once a year, than to be sick one week every month.

Estrogen decreases the ability of the influenza A virus to replicate in cells, offering a protective effect for women against the flu, researchers at Johns Hopkins University found in a recent study.
The study, published in the American Journal of Physiology: Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, the researchers exposed nasal cells from men and women to estrogen, the environmental estrogen bisphenol A and selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERM.
All three forms of the hormone reduced replication in women's cells, but not in men's.

I heard on the radio that men have more heat receptors in the brain than women do, which is why fever affects men more.

I'd bet that men did all of this research.

I'm at home with the flu right now and I'm the biggest little bitch on the earth. Been laying in the bed for 2 days and whining.

Nah. I have no problem admitting I'm a giant gaping vagina when sick.

I hardly ever got sick until we had a child. Maybe once every couple years would I get bronchitis or a sinus infection. I'm the past 2.5 years, every time my daughter gets sick I get it but 10x's worse. Last year was the flu for the first time in my 37 years and I just got over a massive double ear infection that lasted 3 weeks. My wife hasn't been sick once since our daughter was born.
ETA: I'm a bigger baby than the baby when I'm sick.

People who get sick amuse me. It has been at least fifteen years since I was legitimately sick.

Having the ability to pee anywhere is worth getting more sick.
