Answer

Because women are smaller in the human species. Up until puberty, boys and girls are very much the same. Then things happen. Hormones in women cause growth of breasts and hips and sex organs. Men get testosterone which causes bigger bones and typical male growth patterns.

Did you hear about the child born with organs of BOTH sexes? It had male sex organs AND brains!

woman stop growing taller more early than men. so while woman have stopped growing the men are still growing until a certain age but that may not necessarily be true as some woman are in fact teller than men it is mostly about the genes but girls stop growing at 14-15 and men 17-18 although some woman can grow a hell of allot and get to 6'5 or more so really if u have short parents you are most likely to be short and tall parents you are most likely to be tall.
