because.

There are 162,826,299 or 162.83 million males and 166,238,618 or 166.24 million females in US. The percentage of female population is 50.52 percent compare to 49.48 percent male population. The United States has 3,430,615 or 3.43 million more females than males. Jul 13, 2020

We are responsible for our own destiny. No matter how hard we try to deflect and blame. And yes, I am a woman.
