Oh, okay. Interesting, I sort of figured it'd be the other way around since there are more Xs kicking around in the gene pool than Ys. Wonder why that is.

That wouldn't determine the ratio of women to men though, since women are supposed to have two X chromosomes and men determine the gender of their children, so then there are only as many X sperm around as there are men in the world.
