WTF is the 'gender pain gap' ?

One of the big drug companies making painkiller drugs (RB) is currently running TV ads targetting women specifically talking about a 'thing' called the 'gender pain gap'.

Is this a problem that doesn't exist, or something that's been re-invented as a way to market pain drugs to women?

Yes. Women and pain....First, the pain of childbirth.. Then period pain. Endomitriosis. We get it. Women suffer pain. But never, ever in silence. So take a pill already!..馃樂

@justanothername The worst thing you can do for a woman is "understand" her. That requires the male logic that requires us to "fix" things and that not what women are about. Women are to be admired, respected, cherished, spoiled a little, and loved a lot. And allowed to keep their mystery, so they dont need to explain...Beauty never needs an excuse..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman Why are women 'beautiful'? That's a fundamental thing. And I don't buy the 'not needing to know' stuff about understanding women. How can you appreciate something you don't understand. That'd be like believing in Jesus Christ and God the Redeemer. 8-)

@zonavar68 Maybe you are right. But the fact is that we are two halves of a single whole and wont make it without each other..And we were hard wired by evolution to seek each other out. I believe the conflict has arisen due to our advanced society, which says we dont have to colour inside the lines, which is true..However, on the basis that two heads are better than one, finding a partner who supports and has your back, rather than competes,or demands and distracts, is one hell of an advantage for both parties. (and gender is no barrier here) Fifty years with the right woman has enabled us both to go further and give our kids a better start than either of us could have done alone or with another partner.. But ya gotta pick the right one! If you dont feel that way, then you didnt..馃樂
