And all this time I thought only males were hemophiliacs.

Um. Okay. In this specific case possibly you're right, I don't know. I've encountered sufficient number of problems that are *prevalent* in males that I've come to consider that a default for a number of problems.

Hemophilia is generally due to a gene carried on the X chromosome. Thus women are carriers (as in some forms of color blindness) but men get the diseases.

Men with hemophilia can pass the gene to their daughters but not to their sons.
