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: -The adult male pelvis is narrower and less flared, exhibiting an oval or heart-shaped pelvic inlet, and the angle of the pubic arch is less than 90 degrees. The adult female pelvis is usually broader and exhibits a round pelvic inlet, and the angle of the pubic arch is greater than 90 degrees.

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.
