One thing I will say, they often take it better than a man. Pain, that is. Probably the residue of tolerance from when they were all bloody witches and got stoned or burned or drowned for it, eh lad? Never tell your mother I said that, by the way.

About This Quote

The context of this quote is that some women are more tolerant for pain than men. While this is true, it’s also true that men do not tolerate their own pain nearly as well. When you hurt yourself, you tend to hurt yourself more. When you hurt your wife or daughter, on the other hand, they tend to take it better than you do.
