Quote - no male can bend his arm at this angle

Well, that's not entirely true either. I'm a nurse and have inserted many IVs and I've seen some men able to bend their elbow "backwards" like that. Granted they weren't the muscle bound type with huge biceps that would prevent it. I don't really think that one can really distinctly separte how limber or "bendable" a person's joints are based on their gender, other than their pelvic bones that is. There is a distinct difference in the size and shape of a woman's pelvic bone due to the fact that they have the physical ability to bear children and their pelvic bone needs to adjust and expand.
