When first dealing with pain, both little boys and little girls cry. The pain endurance and its stimulant properties come later, when it’s educated. As a child, I had dance classes where I had to push my boundaries, and also family trips with my dad, where I had to push myself while hiking. In retrospect, these helped me endure life’s hardships more efficiently, and become more resilient. Maybe ambitious. So no, not only boys have to be educated in accepting and embracing physical pain — it helps them with the psychological one as well. When we want to develop persons of character, no matter the gender, resilience is an important trait to educate.
