Your mud is clearer than mine. To think it's as simple as the back of the knees.

If you don't believe me that's fine but if you compare them all you will see a difference in colour around the knees the females are lighter.

You are so like my brother ....! that's like saying boys have scuffed knees and girlies have a plaster on (much more sensible, quicker healing etc...). of course why wouldn't we. Boys always had scabs, girls smooth...all in the plaster.
