Male is one of the two sexes. Most species have two sexes - male and female. Human males are men or boys; human females are women or girls. The two sexes have different sexual organs (the female gives birth (has children), the male provides the semen). They also often have different functions. In many human societies, females often were involved in gathering, while men used to hunt. Nowadays, we find that females are just as good as males at performing most tasks.
