    Because females do. At the earliest stage every embryo starts out as a female, its only when the Y chromosome kicks that the ungendered embryo becomes a male fetus, and the testosterone starts its trickeries .

    It's because men are really modified women. The penis is an enlarged clitoris the scrotum is modified labia to contain the testicles which are modified ovaries.

    The Bible says woman was created from man. That's bullshit. All vertebrates are female by default. It takes a chemical introduced at the right time to turn a female into a male.

    Some species can change from male to female in a monastic setting.

    Yeah that makes sense. I was reading some where that geneticists and evolutionary biologists agree that the Y chromosome (dudes) is degenerating -- and way quicker than its X counterpart (chicks). Meaning men are slowly becoming women lol... that explains therise in metro-sexuals ^_^

    So this is only happening in baby chickens? Maybe no one told you. Most women consider it rude to be referred to as "chicks"

    One of the sadest things that people think is that there's a REASON for everything. There's no reason for men to have nipples any more than your child to have a smile. Some things just ARE..

    I derive happiness from knowing that there is a reason from everything, and from knowing the reason. We invent the reasons, every use we find for a thing, and those inventions are real, and are the real reasons why things are that way, because all reality is one giant waveform... we are all everywhere continuously 'quantum entangled' so the past not only determines the future, but the future the past.

    Wow, that is really profound! Seems right too, and related to time being an illusion.

    I don't know but I'm a guy and I am always amused by having them. When I hold a kitten they always go for my nipple even through the shirt and I get a laugh out of it. My nieces and nephew did once or twice when they were that age too. It's just funny. I wish I had a tail too!

    There have been cases where a woman has died after giving birth and the man has managed to produce milk for the baby.

    Revolting thought, eh?

    Well I am aware that some men lactate, but like you said it is rare and I thinks more of a phenomenom than a design lol

    Not at all. My nipples provide me with far more pleasure than my penis does. As far as DNA design or evolutionary purpose goes, the design is simpler when there is more similarity between genders, and God (evolution) does follow Ockam's razor.
