Females are minorities? Since when?

==================================================

Females became the majority in the United States after the World War II/Korean War years.

Look up birth statistics. It used to be 1.06 to 1 M:F at birth but that's decreasing in a lot of places, apparently.

In addition, males engage in riskier behavior [darn that testosterone!] and die off at higher rates, so we don't remain a majority for very long after birth.
