Well, the circ issue, for starters... But perhaps it's just all part of the same reason that more male than female fetuses are spontaneously aborted (miscarried, or die in-utero); I just don't think that boys are as hearty as girls, or as well-wired-up to adapt to life. We see this throughout life, don't we? It's those pesky little chromosomes... Girls rule!
