You don't know. It is an unscientific belief without a rational basis. Based on economic theory and the evidence at hand we can induce that either you (a) value the well being of women more than the well being of men, or (b) value the idea that men suffer better than women more than the scientifically cognizable reality (which states, generally, that men have higher pain tolerances, but women have better coping mechanisms), or both. In any in case, it's really pretty sweet.
