    Slightly less than one boob and one testicle. Just like the average person has slightly less than two legs.

          That’s kinda my point. Mastectomies would bring the average down but more women brings it back up. Too lazy to Google but is global # of women who have had mastectomies more or fewer than # of “excess” women (over men)

            Well are we just equalizing based on boob number, or are we also equalizing based on average boob size? Because some men also have boobs due to hormonal imbalance, and that’s even more if we decide to count like, fat induced moobs for whatever reason. The hormonal imbalances at least would probably bring the average back in favor of slightly more than one boob. If we’ve equalized it to boob size then we’d probably all have like small A cups or something.

      I was thinking about this in terms of limbs, and wondering, since pregnant women have more than 4 limbs, wouldn’t the average number of limbs be greater than 4?

      There are probably considerably more pregnant women than people missing limbs, but then again, the women only have additional limbs for 9 months.
