Unironically I read through your whole link and found no mention of anything related to "better at dealing with being sick due to hormones".

Either you linked the wrong article or you're making stuff up.

The closest in there was

The gender differences in the biological determinants of health and illness include differential genetic vulnerability to illness, reproductive and hormonal factors, and differences in physiological characteristics during the life-cycle.

But it goes on to talk about tropical diseases like Malaria, chronic health issues like heart disease, and mental health issues.

I don't know about the hormones part, but it is a well documented discrepancy between the perceived level of discomfort between men and women when sick.

Yeah, I'm not doubting that necessarily, I was just pointing out that "well documented" was not what OPs comment was.
