Answers:
Both genders have mammary glands, but a girl's are stimulated by the hormone estrogen during puberty, whereas men don't have estrogen!. The increased levels of estrogen during pregnancies lead to production of milk!.

You're probably thinking "What happens if men take estrogen!." When estrogen supplements are taken, for whatever reason (medication, sex change!.!.!.) men experience breast growth, which can lead to male lactation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Men can produce milk- check here: http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Male_lactat!.!.!.

Hormone treatments, such as those for prostate cancer cause male lactation, as well as male-to-female transsexuals who take hormones to reshape their bodies, and sometimes as a result of antipsychotic medications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The reason that girls produce milk is because when they have a baby, or are PREGNANT, they have HORMONES which contribute to breasts enlarging to produce MILK for the BABY!.

Men don't because they don't need to give birth!.
