Science is rarely "yes" and "no". It's much more complicated than that.

This link seem to say that women experience more pain over a lifetime, not necessary when testing for a large number of different triggers and comparing them to men.

"Research is telling us that women experience a greater number of pain episodes across their lifespan than men, in more bodily areas and with greater frequency."

They also only tested one trigger that is way more related to temperature sensitivity than actual pain tolerance.

"To carry out this research, scientists asked volunteers to place their non-dominant arm in a warm water bath (37 degrees centigrade) for two minutes before transferring the hand into an ice water bath maintained at a temperature of 1 - 2 degrees centigrade."
