As a certified manflu sufferer, I gave this an upvote. I know that there's been a lot fun made at guys 'overreacting' to colds, but maybe it's time to listen to the victims. Occasionally, I get a cold where i just feel a bit shit, tired and full of snot. But most of the time a cold shuts me down entirely, I can't think, talk nonsense, if I try and drive I almost crash. I'm a compete mess. Sure, maybe my body is just overreacting to the virus, but so is anaphylaxis and that kills people.

I'm pretty sure that labour is worse, but...

At least for me, if I'm sick enough to be complaining about feeling bad I probably need to go to the hospital.

I can see how that could come off as being a baby since you wouldn't know about the all times I didn't feel incapacitatingly bad.
