| Sexually, women are those with the vulva as a sexual organ, involved in the reproductive system. They have the secondary sexual characteristics that include enlarged breasts, a generally lower height than men, less facial hair than men, a wide area around the hips, buttocks and thighs and mammary glands.
Although more males are born, females make up a larger proportion of the population as women usually live longer than men. Characteristics that influence this difference include the varied genes of female sex chromosomes, the presence of the estrogen hormone and lack of androgens hormone and various social trends. |
