So.. Let me get this straight.
At 4 weeks the foetus has the potential to develop more than 2 nipples,(the main function of which are to provide milk, which only females can) the extra nipples are suppressed by enzymes/hormones, (this is Universal, meaning it can not be considered a trait of either sex) 2 weeks later the sex is then decided.

I can understand what you mean Delvo.
(honestly..I'm not obsessed about nipples)
