Video tries to determine who has it worse when it comes to pain

It's been centuries since men and women first started arguing about one very important topic: whether or not childbirth trumps getting hit in one's private parts as far as pain goes.

The video above is intended to shed some light on this topic with the help of science. The issue appears to be far more complex that one might suspect.

Long story short: it is being said that, although both experiences hurt like hell, it's pretty much impossible to say which is worse due to the fact that pain is very much subjective.

In other words, what some might perceive as an utterly excruciating pain can very well be labeled by others as perfectly tolerable.

Interestingly enough, it appears that one's perception of pain also changes according to the mood they find themselves in.
