Pay attention to the bold part.
The average number of sick days for U.S. workers in 2007 was 14
U.S. workers took an average of 14 sick days in 2007.
On average, employees took 10 days off because they were sick or injured and four to care for family members, according to the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
The agency's analysis also found that:
* Workers ages 55 to 64 took an average of 18 days off work, compared with 10 days for workers ages 16 to 24.
* About 38 percent of female workers missed work in 2007 for their own health problems, versus about 30 percent of male employees.
* 24 percent of married women and 17 percent of married men aged 16-64 were more likely to miss work to care for a sick child or other family member, compared with 14 percent of unmarried women and 7 percent of unmarried men.
* Only 26 percent of uninsured employees took sick leave as compared to 36.5 percent of privately insured workers, and 32 percent of people with Medicaid or other public insurance.

Don't change the goalposts, skippy. You said things women can't do. Although I can certainly think of a whole host of female athletes who could kick your skinny ass...
Edited to add: Impressive insecurity, boys! I'll admit that the average male's ability to bitch about the opposite sex on the internet far surpasses the average female's.

No. It's not.
Women in general have a higher tolerance to pain, stress and manage multiple tasks at a given time.
When men get sick, the entire world has to stop.
Girls get sick, we continue to workout, to go class, go to work, take care of the baby, take care of the boyfriend/husband.
Not to mention, she might be on her period at the same time as well."Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint."

I only read the first page so pardon me if this hasn't been posted: manufacture sperm.
The rest is just relative. Relatively speaking, most women can't get **** done. Not all, but a significant portion.#Winning.

Not every fire company has women in it, and it's possible that the ones that went in did not.
I find it really upsetting that train_harder and like-minded morons would act like it somehow negates all the work of every single first responder on 9/11, which included all available men and women. Minimizing that makes someone a serious @sshole, sorry.I dont like work - no man does - but I like what is in the work - the chance to find yourself.

Typical kegels/Linzz bullshit.
Cite your study. The one study that's been cited in this thread is contrary.
So... your entire argument is that women are more resistant to stomachaches and colds. And yet, the FACT that the average woman misses more days of work for health-related reasons than men is... irrelevant? Give me a break.
This is just unsupported nonsense that women make up to feel better about themselves. You've made the claim -- now prove it.
I don't even know how you'll try to prove this or if it even can be quantified but I invite you to do so.
Apparently not, lulz. See Train_Harder's post above.
This I can agree with. Women are better at maintaining near normal levels of functionality while having a period.
...

this. I've seen women stub their toe and be crippled from the pain. I've seen men take bullets to the neck, bombs go off under their feet, friends heads get split down the middle by snipers and even if they don't have legs they still crawl.
A perfect example, on the same jump a girl broke her ankle and laid there crying for 3 hours until someone found her. A male broke BOTH of his femurs and CRAWLED half a mile to a rally point.

Sources please. Better have a journal abstract lying somewhere...another hint: speculation doesn't count.
edit: actually never mind, I've come to the conclusion that either you're unable to comprehend the facts, or just trolling this thread to get something going. I've provided my support on this view from reputable sources, so I don't care how you approach this claim in later post.

Nothing, but most of the criteria are simple accidents of birth, and hold little real value as a determination of merit. Could you or I dunk like or act as a point guard like, say, Wilt Chamberlain or Shaq? No, we weren't born tall. Are we going to have more upperbody strength than a woman our size? Yes. What is the profound insight there? Its obvious and true, but worth as a human being can't be predicated solely on these arbirtrary starting points that, for the most part, almost all of us who are in any way average will fall short of the elite.
The righteousness of men here is as disheartening as the righteousness of someone who would happen to be born tall, or white, or whatever, all an accident of birth. I don't understand how any of these supposed tests have much relevance on a value system. Some people have upper body strength and speed, some people have big butts.
Every woman is not retarded, and every man is not a genius. But some of both are. Are we going to beat the Williams sisters in Tennis? Does that mean we suck? Maybe just at tennis.

My gf had her wisdom teeth out and spent a week crying. I had my wisdom teeth taken out and waited for the bleeding to stop so I could go to the gym.
I love women, but there is nothing more pathetic than a woman trying to compare her physical abilities to a man's. It takes a level of ignroance that I can't even contemplate."My only enemy is time." - Charlie Chaplin

this article states 3 women rescuers died, but unsure about what their actual jobs were.

Simple search reveals:
""The laboratory research seems to indicate that for many kinds -- but not all kinds -- of stimuli, women have a lower tolerance for pain," says Linda LeResche, ScD, a professor of oral medicine at the University of Washington, in Seattle.

"Study after study has shown that men have a higher tolerance for pain than women, according to researchers who seem to be making some progress in figuring out why."
