It is a topic that has never been truly debated because there was never a need. The answer has always been extremely clear. But we did it anyway. We asked. We polled. Why?  Maybe the results have changed over the centuries of men being men and women being women. Which gender is the biggest "baby" when they are sick?

According to a survey done by Glamour Magazine years ago, WOMEN are the biggest babies. But that is not how Maine voted.

While some (only 1 man, the author of this article) may contest that the voting was close, in all honestly, the results were overwhelmingly clear.

Here Is What People of Maine Had to Say on Who is The Biggest Baby When Sick

In lieu of sharing a numerical value of the votes (because it is embarrassing to men, and again, this author is a man) we will just share some of our favorite comments made during the voting process. You can still place your vote by clicking here.

Sue Towle - Men but in my case my boyfriend refuses to go to the drs to get checked out then we always end up in the ER. He then still fights with me on going but I end up winning the battle.

Marcella Eldridge - Men, absolutely!

Audrey Everlith - Men hands down. Even a splinter almost kills them!!!!

Judy Gilbert Holmes - Hands down, MEN!!

Danni Stubenrod - Men of course!! A man gets a cold and is down a week. A woman has surgery and is back to work the next day?

Michelle Briggs - Men!!! 1000% men!!!!

Heather Deveau - Is this a trick question? Lol

Jenn Fitzgerald - I feel like this shouldn’t even be a question, haha! Of course if you ask women, they will absolutely say men, and if you ask men they will likely say women. I say 1000% MEN!

Lori Bennett - Definitely men...which is why women have the babies!!
