The exception is sub-Saharan Africa, where more females than males are infected. Adult males are more likely to be diagnosed with tuberculosis. Some other sex-related health differences include: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, especially in basketball, occur more often in females than in males. [140]
The INAH-3 is significantly larger in males than in females regardless of age [1] and larger in heterosexual males than in homosexual males and heterosexual females. [2] Homologs of the INAH-3 have been found to play a direct role in sexual behavior in quails , [ 3 ] rhesus macaques , [ 4 ] sheep , [ 5 ] rats , [ 6 ] mice , [ 7 ] and ferrets .
Cases where the male is larger than the female have been studied as well, [136] and require alternative explanations. One example of this type of sexual size dimorphism is the bat Myotis nigricans, (black myotis bat) where females are substantially larger than males in terms of body weight, skull measurement, and forearm length.

Although males are on average 2 centimetres (0.8 in) shorter than females before puberty begins, adult men are on average about 13 centimetres (5.1 in) taller than women. Most of this sex difference in adult heights is attributable to a later onset of the growth spurt and a slower progression to completion, a direct result of the later rise and ...
Extant primates exhibit a broad range of variation in sexual size dimorphism (SSD), or sexual divergence in body size. [4] It ranges from species such as gibbons and strepsirrhines (including Madagascar's lemurs) in which males and females have almost the same body sizes to species such as chimpanzees and bonobos in which males' body sizes are larger than females' body sizes.
Females would increase in the population until the sex ratio was 2 females: 1 male, meaning that a male could have twice the offspring a female could. As a result, males will be twice as costly while producing twice as many offspring, so that males and females provide the same proportion of offspring in proportion to the investment the parent ...
For some people it's hard enough to just sit comfortable with one leg over the other -- and men especially. After Imgur user SickOfFeelingNumb posted the photo , hundreds of people began commenting.
With relative size, women are generally shown smaller or lower than men in terms of girth and height. [8] Although men tend to be biologically taller or larger than females, Goffman suggests that this size difference is manipulated in man-made advertisements to convey difference in status or power in certain social situations.
