Yes, yes, no, yes and yes.
Men and women have the same number of ribs.
Can you tell with 100% certainty? No, some men have wide hips while some women have narrow hips and similarly for the other markers.
I bet Yearwood couldn't tell the difference between male and female if shown pictures of XX or XY chromosomes. He falls into the same class as Soviet Lysenkoism supporting Lamarckian evolution and rejecting genetics and Darwinian evolution. But under Stalin, those who were cancelled were shot or sent to the Gulag. Ideology beat science under both the Soviets and under Yearwood.
On human females it angles slightly rear ward so as not to impede a child coming through the birth canal. Hell I learned that in high school science class almost fifty years ago.

Women have space for the birth canal...men don’t. Its a pretty distinctive difference, imho.
“Ideology beat science under both the Soviets and under Yearwood.”
Methinks, I could now replace ‘Yearwood’ in your statement with the Unit ed States.
(that space is intentional)
“I’m being laughed at. I have a PhD!” the prof states. And so do I. But in forty years I have never had to pull that one out to achieve respect. The man’s a phoney.
Taken one at a time those physical characteristics aren’t diagnostic but taken as a group they are. The female sex has wider hips, lighter bone structure, differently shaped skulls and a different ratio of upper to lower body.
Apparently the lecturer, doesn’t want to know that.
As far as the second, professors who don’t tow the woke line are already being canceled by their universities. It’s only a matter of time before the gulag is in sight.
More good reasons to cut funding to universities.
