No- pain threshold varies from individual to individual, and is not determined by gender.
Well, I've heard that men have a higher pain tolerance than women but I'm a chick and I have a very high pain tolerence. Some one did the pinch test and they were amazed on how even the hardest one didn't hurt me. I don't cry either. So I'll agree with the person above me.

∙ 14y agoNo, repeated studies done over roughly the last 40 years routinely show that men generally have a higher threshold and tolerance for pain (links 1-4). Threshold meaning the point at which a person considers something painful, tolerance being the point at which a person decides they cannot take any more- or in an experimental setting the point at which one chooses to stop participating. These studies have been confirmed to enough of an extent that figuring out exactly why men tolerate more and appear less sensitive to pain is now a far bigger issue for researchers than your original question. Numerous studies, including one in which nerve endings in a small portion of facial skin were counted, have shown that women are genetically also more sensitive to cutaneous pain (pain originating in the skin) (5). Men repeatedly show a higher ability to deal with pain regardless of what part of the body is tested.

However, pain experiences can vary greatly between individuals regardless of gender.
Compare the osmotic tolerance of bacterial an fungi?
Fungi generally have higher osmotic tolerance compared to bacteria. Fungi have robust cell walls that help protect them from osmotic stress, allowing them to grow in environments with high solute concentrations. Bacteria, on the other hand, are more prone to osmotic stress due to their relatively thinner cell walls and may require specific adaptations to survive in high osmolarity environments.

Can you develop a tolerance to pain after getting kicked in the nuts?
Probably not. The "nuts" (testicles) have pain receptors, just like every other body part. When a person is kicked in the testicles, or is hit by a ball during an athletic event (even when wearing an athletic supporter), there is considerable pain; and being struck in the testicles is worse than being hit in, let's say, the leg, because the testicles do not have much protection (no muscles or bones to cushion the injury). Granted, some people have a higher tolerance for pain than others, but there is no evidence that being kicked in the testicles will build such a tolerance; in fact, if there are repeated kicks, it may cause harm to that part of the body, leading to serious damage such as blood clots, and some sources say it could even lead to infertility.
