From Wikipedia

Man flu is a colloquial term referring to the perception that males can experience more severe symptoms when afflicted with the common cold or flu-like illnesses. Originating in Britain, the term has become widespread, and is frequently used in a deprecating manner. Some scientific inquiries verify the existence of a unique response to the flu on the part of males as a constellation of effects, including the negative correlation between testosterone levels and antibody response, while others have argued that the term relies on and perpetuates gender stereotypes that invite ridicule towards men who show weakness or seek help for medical conditions.
