Where I live, most men have some degree of jaw recession, while women tend to have stronger jawlines, even if not perfect. Is it only where I live, or have you noticed that too?

    Could be this, if you live in society with high alcoholism rate:

    Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) often causes a distinct jawline characterized by micrognathia, or a small, underdeveloped lower jaw

    Don’t know why it would show in males only, but could be you expect stronger jawlines on males and notice more their absence, while on females it is less expected and evident (also more makeup use to somewhat alter jawline appearance for women)

      No, I definitely see a good jaw line more often in women than in men.
