As for the 33% ratio, that's because the chances of anyone giving birth to males is just 33%. The chances of females are 66%. If you read some Biology book or maybe some anatomy books, perhaps it'll list it on there, but I read a lot of sources that says it's 33%.

I know it's pineappleing Wikipedia, but seriously, how the hell can you think twice as many female babies are born as male babies?
