I guess I have a male brain, since my best subjects are maths and IT. If that makes me a freak then I guess I shouldn't post the pic of me in my glasses, sitting in computer class taken 3 years ago...

It's also worth noting that males generally form the outliers in most categories.
So there are more men spread to the ends of a bell curve, with females more concentrated in the centre?

That would seem to be the case, though I hadn't really thought about evolution as a bell curve even though it is a statistically proven thingy.
J.M.'s right. In the great plan (life), males are expendable because you just don't need that many to fertilise females. All the energy in procreation goes into rearing young, and the general rule of thumb is that females do that. There are some exceptions (aren't there always?), but the hairy ones tend to get away scot free when it comes to the kiddies. We are also symmetrical, genetically speaking (XX) and men aren't. Check nature out carefully; she do love the old symmetry. :)

sorry, all the way through this topic, I keep remembering the old feminist bumper sticker, 'they sent one man to the moon, why not send them all?'.
;D
