maybe it has something to do with this
male:female ratio

There are more male babies born but by adult hood in the same generation there are more females. Maybe it has something to do with there being so many X linked recessive diseases that very few women are affected by. Plus different gender roles, life styles. I was just learning about more X linked recessive Disease so it’s like 😯

or it is to make sure that the number of sexually mature male and female remain about the same?
