I used this infographic as it has two phenotypes on it labeled male and female. And I want to know we we call the brown phenotype the female bird. That question proved too tricky for Kathryn. She could not be honest in answering.

No, she was honest. You just can't accept that the truth of the matter is your understanding of your own exhibit and the facts is deficient. If you had an infograph of M&Ms with just the Red & Green candies, would you insist the green one was dark chocolate? God, I hope not.

You are aware that phenotype and genotype do not map 1:1, so what are you trying to prove?

I have never made that claim.

Your claim is that there is some critereon by which the entire population can be sorted into either female or male with no third category. For some reason, you are not able to identify what this critereon is.

No, you're not feigning ignorance about the peafowl. A male phenotype can have either a male or female genotype. What are you trying to prove?

So which determines sex -- what something looks like, what its genes are, or neither?
