Man

From Encyc

A man is a male human-being. The plural form of the word is men.

According to the Bible, the first man, Adam, was formed by their omnipotent deity on the seventh day.

Men can usually be distinguished from women by their narrower hips, lower body fat percentage and smaller breasts. They also do not menstruate and tend to be more hairy overall. They also have more pronounced brows and less delicate facial features. Their reproductive systems are also vastly different, and they cannot bear children directly from their own body.

Throughout most of modern history men have held greater legal status than women and were generally more privileged. They have often been subject to violence in wars, and have also have had property rights. This is still largely the case in some areas of Earth.

In most cultures, men have shorter hair and do not wear makeup, jewelry, or other ornamentation more often than women.

They have XY chromosomes usually.
