Hormones can play a role as well. Anecdotally, my wife’s hair during pregnancy became fuller and less brittle. Duckduckgo “pregnancy hair”. A monthly cycle, being on hormonal birth control, etc. will likely have some effect. I definitely agree that genetics does play a bigger role, but claiming that gender/sex plays no role is definitely incorrect.

Well, I’m pretty sure the Earth is in orbit around a star [citation needed], so I would think solar panels on Earth would also be in orbit around a star.

I mean, I suppose that technically a lone satellite with solar panels in orbit around the Sun is probably an extremely limited form of a Dyson sphere — it’s not as if there’s some firm lower bound on what percentage of energy output from the star that needs to be captured. One could presumably scale up incrementally.

By that definition the solar panels that are already on the Earth are a tiny Dyson swarm. And honestly, I approve.
