Male and female pelvises are pretty much the same.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Male and Female Pelvic Blueprint and Anatomic Variations. In general, the structure of the male pelvis is significantly heavier and thicker than that of the female. The male pelvic bones are also adapted to fit a more massive and sturdy body architecture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Female pelves are larger and wider than male pelves and have a rounder pelvic inlet. Male iliac crests are higher than females, causing their false pelves to look taller and narrower. The male sacrum is longer, narrower, straighter, and has a pronounced sacral promontory relative to the female sacrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The true pelvis contains the pelvic colon, rectum, bladder, and some of the reproductive organs. The false pelvis supports the intestines (specifically, the ileum and sigmoid colon) and transmits part of their weight to the anterior wall of the abdomen.

Detailed explanation-4: -While pelvis shape can vary widely among females, there are four general types: gynecoid, android, anthropoid, and platypelloid. The shape of your pelvis may affect the ease in which you can give birth vaginally.
