It was an interesting article that I agree with for the most part.
However, the lone sentence where the writer states that women have a higher threshold of pain and more stamina isn't true. I'd like to know where she got her research from.
If you almost any psycho-physicist, physiologist, or psychologist, they will tell you that women are more sensitive to touch. This includes the four basic types of touch: hot, cold, pressure, and pain. Women bruise more easily as well.
Secondly, in regards to stamina, I have a couple of things to say. Men have a larger lung capacity than women, have more white blood cells than women (which help blood flow more efficiently, increasing staming), and have a slower heart rate than women (which means men can pump their needed amount of blood and oxygen into their body with less work required).
