The female traits noted tend to be neotonous. Perhaps the adaptive value is that if thaht females who look cute and childlike may tend to elicit protectiveness.

That perceived age disparity may help explain some of the gender inequaulities across the cultures of the world, as well as actual age disparities in marriages.

Damnit, I wish *I* had an android pelvis! It appears, alas, to be found only among women. I was hoping for a pelvis that could shoot laser beams or analyse huge streams of data in microseconds or something. Ah well... at least my pelvis won't creatively misinterpret its fundamental rules about protecting humanity and go on a psycho rampage or anything...
