Studies have shown that women in general have both a lower pain threshold and pain tolerance than men. It is my opinion that the pain women feel is dismissed partly because of the urban myth that women have a higher pain tolerance. Some of the worst pain I have felt in my life was delivered to me by another woman who basically said, "eh, you're a woman; you can take it." Please read the studies and be gentler to each other, y'all.

Let's try the dilemma, but change the stakes somewhat.

It is the last day for the semester and you are taking the last class you need to graduate school. When you walk into class your teacher directs each student into a separate room and closes the door. Inside each room are two buttons and a statement with a question.

Statement: Everyone in this class has to vote by pressing either the red button or the blue button. If more than 50% of the class presses the blue button, everyone gets a 100 on their final. If less than 50% of the class presses the blue button, only the people who pressed the red button gets a 100 on their final. Which button do you push?
