Mythbusters did a pain study using the same cold water test, except colder. And by and large, women were more tolerant of the pain.
It is also said that when you are cramming for an exam that plunging your arm into very cold water helps you remember much better. I think I saw that on Scientific American Frontiers on PBS.
Pretty much if you run across a woman with her arm in the cold water swearing her ass off, you should hope you are her friend.
