Evolutionary Bias
Maybe it's just my personal bias, but I really don't see why people are compelled to write long papers and debate each other about whether male nipples are vestigal or whether the female orgasm serves any evolutionary purpose. If you're that smart, shouldn't you be trying to cure cancer or something? I mean, I suppose it'd be interesting to know, but seeing as we can't grow species out of ether and see if the females exhibit similar sexual characteristics, the whole debate is a little . . . academic.
