Biologically speaking, I emphasize Biologically (in case some people do want to kill me because of my statement), women are more sensitive as compared to the other gender of homosapiens.
The average woman has 34 nerve endings per one centimetre square of facial skin, while the average man has only 17; half of what a woman actually has. Thus, women feel more pain when subjected to "painful" stimuli.
Thinking about it the other way... I just labelled men as insensitive.
Which is also biologically true.

true, but women also have a higher tolerance of pain than men. particularly emotional pain and long pain (as opposed to the fast, intense).
