I don’t know the answer. But I 1,000% agree with the premise.

I’m a big ol sissy when I have a cold.

This is bullshite feminist fake news. If I get sick I just take some OTC meds and keep on trucking. For me to be out of commission it has to be really fricking bad.

I am giving my wife a whole bunch of grief because I got it from her. She went to Vegas with her sister to watch Adele last weekend.

The only people I’ve ever known to talk about shite like this is the feminists I knew at work.

I'm about the biggest hardcore redass anyone would ever want to meet. But I've been sick since Monday and have left the bed one time for long enough to take a shower. My ribcage feels like I've been sparring Mike Tyson from all the violent coughing and coughing shite up. Constantly moving from chills to fever to sweats.

Opposite in my house.

My wife is a big ninny and I just want to be left alone when I’m sick.

This. My wife cries and moans.

I’ve had 4 medical procedures in my life where a surgeon had to go under the skin and I was back to work the next day for all but one.

Played football with a broken rib.

I didn’t miss a beat when Covid caught me. Was just a normal day. My wife whined and complained for a week.

I don’t even like pain killers because knowing where it hurts and how intense the pain is, is useful information. It’s kind of like wearing sunglasses. I don’t wear them. I want to experience life the way it is, not some sheltered sensation of reality.

But I did almost pass out when watching a video on what to expect for my vasectomy. Due to that sad display, the doctor wanted to knock my arse out for the procedure but I declined. Told him I would be fine when it was game time. I was. I spent the time flirting with a young medical student he invited to observe. Trying to make her laugh while I was naked was embarrassingly easy. Baller move.

Had Flu A two weeks ago and the cough was killier. I was like you with my ribs and diaphragm hurting. They gave the Xofluza pill and I felt way better the next day but the cough is still hanging on.

We naturally take care of everyone else when we're healthy; when we get sick we want a vacation from that, but in reality those responsibilities remain.

I cannot relate as I’m not a vagina as it seems most American mens are. Go spend some time on a shovel handle or axe you fricking disgrace.

The same reason why the aliens were conquered by the flu in War of the Worlds.

Cause we have a better immune system (on average) so we don’t get sick as often.


That is backwards, women have the stronger immune systems.


In our house she gets sick more often because she is exposed to more crap, since my staff has gotten older and doesn't have small kids at home I rarely ever get sick so when I do it is usually worse. I tend to crash and want someone to bring food/drinks/meds/ice to me where my wife just keeps on going. I also think it is partly upbringing, my mom would mother/nurse anyone that was sick where her mom and grandmother were we don't have time to be sick get your arse up and go. I've seen my FIL sick as a dog puking and barely able to move and my MIL thinks he should cut the grass or some other non-critical chore around the house.

When I’m sick I’m sick. It happens once MAYBE twice a year. If I called every sniffle my wife ran to the doctor over being sick I could fight through it too.

have mommy issues and want to be babied like when their mommies took care of them as children.

Hmmm...once old enough...back then like 10 or so (today you would be prosecuted for it)...she would leave us with Campbells chicken noodle, some crackers and some ginger ale along with her work number. You couldn't take off every time your kid had the sniffles.

But you are right...that's how I like it today. Just leave me alone for a bit and I'll be fine

It’s pretty bad. I used an albuterol inhaler and it helped.

When I have a mild cold or something I don't say anything about it. If I'm saying I'm sick I'm really sick. I think women just judge men based on when they actually say they're sick and don't see all the shite we don't say anything anout.
