Pain and Suffering, the term legally use for physic stress and  emotion stress. They are different between women and men. Women are more sensitive to pain than are men, but cope with it better and tent not to let it control their lives, according to an Ohio University researcher. Francis Keefe, Ph.D., professor of health psychology at Ohio University, Athens, compared how men and women suffering from arthiris handled it. The women reported 40 percent more pain than did the men, he says, but they coped by seeking the support of others, finding in prayer and engaging in distracting activities.

Because the men did not have such effective coping skills, they suffered more in the long sun. Sex hormones are believed to play role in pain response, with testosterone perhaps raising the pain threshold and estrogen lowering it.
