Zborowski (1952) compared attitudes towards pain in three cultural groups from New York City by interviewing patients, doctors, nurses and other health professionals, as well as some healthy individuals from each of the cultural groups. The cultural groups were Italian-Americans, Jewish-Americans and Old-Americans.
Italians were preoccupied with the sensation of pain and complained a great deal while they were in pain with moaning and crying, but once the pain was treated they resumed their normal activiites.
On the other hand, Jewish patients were also very emotional when in pain and tended to exaggerate pain symptoms. However, they worried more about the effect of the pain on their health and the overall welfare of their families than about the pain itself. At times, they had difficulty resuming their normal activities because of a preoccupation with the underlying cause of their pain.
The Old-American patients were more detached in their response to pain and they were more concerned with not bothering anyone. [. . .]
Zborowski (1952) believed that attitudes towards pain are part of any culture's child-rearing practices. He found that both Jewish-American and Italian-American parents in his study were generally overprotective and overly concerned about their child's health and their children were frequently reminded to avoid fights, possible injuries and catching colds. Crying elicited considerable sympathy.
However, Old-American parents were less concerned and expected that the child would not run to the parent with a small problem. Children were taught to anticipate some pain while playing and they were expected not to show excessive distress.

The take-home message from this article: Wogs and Kikes are just a bunch of faggy crybabies.
.
The Italians were preoccupied with the sensation of pain from their arms being stuck up someone else's ass.
The Jews were both pained and very emotional with fear that others would discover their heads were up their asses.
The Old-American patients were more detached in their response to pain and they were more concerned with not bothering anyone with their assholes or anyone else's assholes...

You pussies give birth without anaesthetics of any kind and then you can get back to me.
If men did the child-bearing, there'd be a hell of a lot less complaining about it.

Women have been bearing children without the theatrics for thousands of years.
No one told your sex to get religious about it.

Im sure its just like a very bad bout of cramps.

Wogs and kikes have also endured pain for thousands of years and probably with about as little/much theatrics as anyone else.

Childbirth is incredibly painful because women deserve it.
Women always exaggerate how painful anything is and Nookie expects us to believe that with childbirth they're telling the truth. :rolleyes:

Women lie a lot too.

It's a good way to get out of doing their wifely duty for a while, then they get to lay guilt trips on their children about what they went through on their behalf. By the time the daughters find out what horseshit they've been fed, they're too busy pulling the same shit on their own kids to blow the whistle

I know you're not very smart, but you'll never be able to give birth no matter how many guys shoot their loads up your ass.
