B.s. in your brain. And some day get some humour or Sesamy Street
might give you an Oskar.

Check amount of male and female children with speech handicap, check
tests of langauge abilities of men and women, 
check 10O00  men and 10O00 women of different villages talking to
people of the same sex, and figure out to whom the above fits more,

and add some conversation about hunting after some ball and some
technical stuff and  check where that fits more in comparison
