Men, odd or even?

I ran across this question in blog space and found it interesting. Here's my answer and some proof to back it up.

Men are 1's and women are 0's. That's as far as I can count. I guess that makes men odd and women even. This would probably fit in with the "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" thing but I haven't read that book. For proof of the answer above I give you this -

$ cat whichone.awk
#! /bin/awk -f
{ if ($1 == "0") {
print "woman";
} else if ($1 == "1") {
print "man";
} else {
print "Boy George";
}
}

And here's a data file to use -

$ cat data.txt
0
1
0
1
1
0
0
1
0
0
1
7

You can't argue with the code.
