Women don’t have a higher pain thresh­old than men:

It has always been assumed that women’s bodies give them a higher pain thresh­old than men, to help them cope with the agony of childbirth.

But a study sug­gests the oppo­site is true.

Women gen­er­ally expe­ri­ence more recur­rent pain, more severe pain and longer last­ing pain than men.

I guess men are just whinier.
