>>Good grief, Charles! Who cares?>>

Apparently you do, to about a 300 words' worth.

>>You have completely overlooked the fact is that ALL conceived human beings start life as female and at around 6 - 9 weeks gestation, they either remain female or begin the change to male.>>

This is wrong. The embryo is undifferentiated until the 6-7 week mark. After that point, the differentiation process begins.

The rest of your rant isn't relevant to the question of sexual dimorphism. I made the point in the article that I'm not making any points about gender.
