Interesting - are there such correlations for hair colors also? Sadly, your efforts to strengthen your personal impressions lack a source (Was this a study? From when? From whom? From where? What is n?…). We probably could post 'facts' about males and females endlessly. Oh, what about the high portion (~80%) of males among homeless people in industrial countries? Also, there might be something beyond our well-socialized heteronormative world. ;) I'd personally encourage everyone not to discriminate genders and therefore use a respectful and equating language. Luckily, this is not too hard English.
