Do women feel more pain than men?

Reference:http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/23/do-women-feel-more-pain-than-men/?hpt=he_c1

Summary: A recent study may show that women feel more pain than men, due to perception. It may be because men's brains are more active during pain, or because women tend to have more stress than men. Doctors are trying to figure out if there really is a gender affected difference and if women need heavier pain meds than men. Women also tend to develop chronic pain disorders than men. This may be because women tend to see a doctor more than men, but doctors don't seem to think so.

Critique: If this is true, I am going to be so mad. We already have to give birth and stuff. Unfair.

Impact: Maybe women will start getting aquadate pain meds ! Finally!
