Interesting discussion.
In our house, my husband is definitely the more expensive one, but that is because he golfs ... but that has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with hobbies.
There is one important thing that has not been mentioned: The average man weighs quite a bit more than the average woman, and therefore needs to consume more calories daily, burns more fuel driving the car, wears out the furniture faster, etc. I wonder if those extra costs make up for the basic extra costs of being female (monthly products, etc.). I have no idea if they do, but just wondering and thinking out loud.
