    Women have slightly different bone structure, particularly in the area of the hips and pelvis. Women generally prefer different seats for this reason. Women are also on average a bit shorter than men and so need smaller bikes (there is a lot of overlap of course)

      I’m aware of all that, but you should know that the key difference is how much men love to get hit in the nuts by the crossbar. That’s why men’s bikes need to be built in ways that are unwelcoming for women to ride them. /s

      You’re describing a saddle and frame size, not a whole different type of frame.

        Right, because saddle and frame size have gender reasons to be different. Type of frame is a trade off between various factors, but there is no reason to assign any type to any gender.

          Yeah, that was my point. Step-through frames are as much for women as they are for men. Same goes for any type of frame.
