Whoa. I had no idea that difference existed. But I guess it makes sense that it would have to.

Yeah, it never occurred to me that pregnant women should (by all rights) fall over forward... but that's kind of a large shift in weight balance.

The question starts striking one repeatedly, involuntrily, somewhere around the third trimester ;).

I’m reading Why Is Sex Fun?, by Jared Diamond (best known for Guns, Germs, and Steel), and I thought of differenceblog this morning while I was reading it. Wanna borrow my copy when I’m done?

I for one can't believe no one thought to study this before now. Can you write something about how a lot of human studies are done on males?

I know I've covered that before. Let's see:

"Pink Pills and Blue Pills"
Strong Enough for a Man, but Made for a Woman"

Crap, neither of those are the post that I'm remembering, but I can't find it. Not that it isn't worth covering again. But women have only recently started to be included as study subjects at all, which is sort of awful,. considering their treatment was being based on the same androcentric research.
