so just want to do a quick comparison of male versus female pelvis or pelvic girdle um this here is male this is female couple ways you can tell if you look at the iliac crest just the way that the ilum sit the male is going to be sitting up higher a little bit narrow set more narrow set the female the Ilia are relaxed off to the side just a bit which gives it uh gives women wider hips okay looking at the pelvic Inlet male has more of a circular shape right in this pelvic Inlet and the pelvic Outlet is very tiny very narrow here so compare that to pelvic Inlet for female which is a little bit wider right and then a much larger pelvic Outlet be useful for giving birth both of these have the coxics broken off so you have to keep in mind that's that's a space that would be further confined another place you could compare is at this angle where the uh pubic Rami meet so in males notice that this is a pretty acute angle whereas in females this is getting closer to 90°
