This is nonsense. You could probably find similar differences when comparing hair color, urban dwellers vs. rural dwellers, etc.
Curious. I recall that back in my Air Force days circa 1972, the B-52 crewmembers in my squadron were fathering girls at a rate of maybe 4 to 1. I guess 'Arc Light' and 'Bullet Shot' weren't manly enough.
I guess these guys haven't yet heard of the 'X' and 'Y' chromosomes.
Heck his wife is about 5'4", weighs maybe 110-115, prefers their .41 magnum revolver, to there 10mm Glock. She shot 2 deer within 2 months of giving birth to their first daughter.
They have home birthed their three daughters, and have started homeschooling. They are as outdoors and wilderness as they come, and yet they hate the Sierra club and environazis.
My buddy isn't a big burly mountain man, but he more than holds his own out there. His wife is a tiny, sweet little thing, with a HUGE smile always on her face. But she is definetly a great match for her husband. Heck, their favorite hobbies when they can have someone take care of the girls for awhile, is to go shooting, or riding motorcycles up the old trails in the mountains.
And yet they have 3 girls. With a 4th child on the way.
And yes they are hoping for a boy this time around.
What a crock.
I protest! Now, get to work on that 50 million dollar per year womyns studies center.
My husband, an engineer, has fathered three boys. My brother-in-law, a nurse, two girls.
Stupid is as stupid researches......
My dh, ex-military and an engineering student, has 2 girls and one boy thus far. His bil the teacher has one daughter and another daughter due to be born any day now...
So it's half right?
“She manages to hold down a job and keep us all fed, clothed and organized in a seamless way.”
Well the feminists said that women could have it all - all the responsibility as it turns out.
What's that old saying, "Correlation does not imply causation" or something like that. This article makes me think of this.
LQ
"profession such as accountancy"
Bwahahahaha! Please stop.
Finally. Reality at its best!
But what about your crewmates' wives? My guess is that back in '72 they weren't drill instructors.
Male Engineers produce an abnormally high percentage of X chromosomes. Its due to their macho nature.
The thing that surprises me the most is that they found two European families with four kids.
My uncle, who worked in the NSA, has two daughters. I don't know what that means.
Is dairy farming not a "man's job"? I know one with 5 daughters - and no sons.
