Gender Differences
There are gender differences in human gait: females walk with lesser step width and more pelvic movement. Gait analysis generally takes gender into consideration. Females walking with hip sway, and males walking with swagger in shoulder generally have more physical attractiveness. A study by Stuart Brody of the University of the West of Scotland suggests that female gait may reflect orgasmic ability. Gender differences in human gait can be explored using a demonstration created by the Biomotion Laboratory at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada. BMLWalker

Famous quotes containing the words gender and/or differences:
“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhood—the one their mothers embodied. . . .

—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
