It's ridiculous how prevalent and pervasive the idea that "all women are attention seekers" or "all women exaggerrate their pain" when obviously we are trained to MINIMISE it.
This. Especially considering how we are supposed to 'be more comfortable with pain' (child birth and all that...) and have a higher pain-threshold. *incoherent anger*
