Name: Jay, Wembley
Qualification: I’ve got four sisters
Answer: It’s all about the hair. When a man rips off their jumper, it ruffles up their hair. But women carefully lift their jumpers off, which makes sure that their hair is still neat.

Answer: It’s because women’s elbows are anatomically different to mens. The joint is evolutionarily different. It’s the reason women can’t throw as far as men.
(James O’Brien: No, I still think and elbow can do what an elbow needs to do.)

Answer: It is partly to do with not messing up their hair – and also their make-up. But however, that doesn’t explain why little boys and girls take their jumpers off in the way adults do – who don’t mind if they mess up their hair. So I think it must be to do with primal instinct.
(James O'Brien: More like a Primark Instinct!)
