If this is a question of size than its not a question of gender. There are short men. However, I doubt it is the size of the person that matters, but it's a good thing to control for in a scientific experiment. Otherwise the title would have to be "people correct short people more than tall" rather than "people correct women more than men." It's just bad science not to control for height.
With that in mind one should attempt to control for weight too, right? You could divide subjects into weight classes. I bet no one would tell Andre the Giant to smile. But on the other hand, when he wasn't in a lot of pain I do hear he was a ton of fun.
