Having a thick skin means that you are tough and people can't hurt you by what they say. It implies having an extra layer of protection, and that you are not a sensitive person.

A woman shouldn't have to be "thick skinned" to survive ! We are made by *** to be kind,loving,sensitive humans but some men make us thick skinned by treating us with insensitivity and cruelty...it grows on us as a protective wall...that is not supposed to happen...!!
