I just discovered to my utmost surprise that I am female π²
I did look it up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratio
From a study of 136 males and 137 females at the University of Alberta:[32]
Males: mean 0.947, standard deviation 0.029
Females: mean 0.965, standard deviation 0.026
Assuming a normal distribution, the above lead to 95% prediction intervals for 2D:4D ratio of 0.889–1.005 for males and 0.913–1.017 for females.
From a 2018 study on a final sample of 249 graduate and undergraduate students from Warwick University,[33] proportionally balanced by gender:
Males: mean 0.951, standard deviation 0.035
Females: mean 0.968, standard deviation 0.028
So the proposition was plain wrong.

If you get the chance, encourage him to give away some of his cardigans.
