Why do men have nipples?

Born in/of would imply that your mother was really male, thus incapable of gestating a child... so unless you're some kind of miracle baby, the new messiah, an alien, or your mum was a frog, it'd be 'born as'.

Thanks.

I am often referred to as the new messiah, but only when looking in the mirror

Men have nipples because nipples develop in the womb before embryos become distinctly male or female. So by the time a Y chromosome kicks in to distinguish a fetus as male, the nipples have already secured their place.

Someone can use Google.

That’s correct. Well done. My point.

The fact that this gets asked at all makes me wonder about the state of the education system...

OP doesn’t know about the unlock code you can input via your nips.

One regulates body temperature, the other is for tuning your internal FMradio

(Kudos to anyone who gets that reference....)

If you twizzle your right one anti clockwise then your left one clockwise press each one twice you unlock the special adult ocuk channel.

upgraded to men

men have worse genetics, worse health, shorter life span because we dont have the 2 full copies of DNA available in our makeup I think.

Seems relevant article rip your superior self

“A number of critical immune genes are located on the X chromosome,” says Goulder, in particular the gene for a protein called TLR7, which detects single-stranded RNA viruses like the coronavirus. “As a result, this protein is expressed at twice the dose on many immune cells in females compared to males, and the immune response to coronavirus is therefore amplified in females,” he says.

While one X chromosome is usually inactivated in each female cell, the TLR7 gene somehow escapes this in some immune cells, meaning women produce more of the protein.
