Lines: 19 I can think of only one trait that is exclusively male, and only one that is exclusively female (I refer here to human males and females). Male: siring a child (includes producing sperm, etc) Female: bearing a child (includes the menstrual cycle, etc) (there have been documented instances of men nursing children) As far as I'm concerned, though there may be sex-linked TENDENCIES toward certain traits (agressivness, nurturing, etc.) no traits but the above two are EXCLUSIVE property of either sex.
