Everyone knows that women mature faster than men do.
Whether it be obvious in that 5th grade health class where everybody learns about the upcoming puberty changes, or the way girls advance in Honors classes through school while boys are still sitting in the back of the classroom figuring out who farted — women have proven over and over to be more advanced than their yearly age would attest to.
