Because males are the default "template"

There is no biological basis to support this claim. Many biologists believe female is the default, but some believe there isnt any default sex at all. There is literally zero scientific literature making the claim that male is the default sex

I'm talking about something different. At the genetic level it may be the case the fetus starts as female, but that doesn't say anything about the target morphology of the adult version of the fetus. Human females are not just smaller, they have a different morphology. This gap is relatively recent in evolutionary timelines for humans.

From this perspective it's not hard to see nature went from masculine to feminine, even in males, but much more so in females. No other female in the mammalian kingdom has enlarged breasts all the time, and more fat to accentuate form over function.

Even if we analyze at the superficial level, boys and girls are morphologically similar, and then it's girls that change into a different form, while boys just grow larger and that's about it.

If you just grew larger you did puberty wrong.

Try getting some testosterone.
