The studys I've read indicated this was the case. Notice
that I DID NOT say that NO females were left handed, just
that the males in that gruop predominate.

(Note: In refernce to a previous posting, I'm not sure whether
the studies were concentrating on mixed-handed people (with
a predominance for left-handedness) or consistent left-handers
(people with no right-handed prefernces -- by far the rarest
and smallest group (M.Annett,1967,Q.J.Exp.Psychol.,vol.19,p.343)))
