Course it's real! You Wimmin have no idea of the complete & utter, pain , suffering & debilitation us Blokeys manfully struggle through when so cruelly struck down & stricken with a dose of "Man Flu".

And just shrugging it off as merely "Man Flu" doesn't even come close to defining how proper poorly we are when so mortally distressed. Admittedly while we're not actually at deaths door, we're at least manfully lurching down his garden path!
