I *so* hate that analogy.
I passed two stones at once a few years ago, one from each kidney - yay, I had twins! - and the entire time I was in the hospital, I was begging for painkillers. A nurse commented to me, "Women can take more pain than men." I replied, "I can't. MEDICATE ME!"
My housemate passed a single stone a month later, and he was drugged immediately. Of course, he's also a much larger person than I am, so perhaps they were more afeared of his pain reactions, but still...I hold a grudge.
(And I really don't recommend the experience to anyone.)
