Daughters an occupational hazard for actors (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23435583-2,00.html)


Boffins at Scotland's Ninewells Hospital in Dundee studied population surveys and discovered that men in high-stress jobs can have reduced levels of the male sex hormone testosterone, which tips the odds in favour of them fathering girls.

Now the bit that got my attention in relation to previous threads was this:


Girls tend to be born to parents with more children.


Anyone remember the study that shows that gay men are more likely to have older brothers?

Is there a general feminisation of younger siblings?

My dad was one of 3 boys.
His eldest brother had 3 boys.
His youngest brother had 2 boys.
My dad had 2 boys, a girl then another boy.

I've really got to show this article to the youngest one. :laugh4: :2thumbsup:
