All the bones in males are heavier than females, including the pelvic bone. This is due the effect of male hormone called as testesterone.

How could the doctor differentiate between man and woman pelvis?
There are many subtle differences but it's usually fairly obvious. A very general rule of thumb is considering whether you could fit a baby through the pelvic inlet (the space a baby would have to pass through during childbirth)? If so then it's probably a woman, if not it's probably a man. If you're interested there are more subtle differences, for example: In males the obturator foramen (the hole where some major leg muscles go) is round and in females it's oval. In males the acetabulum (the "socket" in the "ball and socket" joint where the femur (thigh bone) will attach) is larger than in females. The pelvic inlet (gap through the pelvis if you were looking down on it) is heart shaped in males and oval in females. The pubic arch (can't think of a way to describe it effectively has a large subpubic angle in women than in men. In men it's roughly shaped like an upside down V whereas in females it's wider (an angle greater than 90 degrees). In males the bones are thicker, heavier and taller and in females the pelvic bones are lighter and less dense. There are other differences as well but in most cases these would be enough to make an assessment of gender.
