hmmmm....nice question....maybe women don't like standing all alone deserted,or maybe we don't like throwing snow on women..see they are gentle and so the royale treatment..so its all for men being outdoors,being made fun off!!does that sound logical?

Welllll..........yina24.....I personally would prefer that they continue to call them "snowmen".....because if you think about it...they have "slush" for brains, and that certainly doesn't describe women! Now, that was said with "tongue in cheek!" But I guess that I shud be prepared for the onslaught of comments! Have a great day....just felt we needed a little levity here!

Well, if you're going to be politically correct, the term would be "snowperson", but most of us grew up calling them "snowmen".
However, I made a snow angel once and DID make the distinction of it being a female! 
If you want to take a look at my snow angel, I have a short "lesson" on how to make one here: http://www.geocities.com/ladysmith414/SnowAngels.html. Yep, that's me a few years ago. At the end, you'll see why I called mine a female.
