Default Mens helmet vs womens helmets

Hey all, new to this part of the Honda-Tech forum. I have posted a picture or two of me in the bike picture thread, but anyways my question is regarding the differences(if any)between mens helmets and womens.

I had my gal friend try on my Shoei Quest, in medium, and she said it fit fine. I had her shake her head side to side and up and down and it didn't move.

How many of you with second helmets, for a passenger, have them distinguished to a female head versus a males.

Thanks,

confusing?

color is the only thing that distinguishes between which gender will wear the helmet and what the manufacterur dubs as a male or female helmet, size is universal as far as gender goes. my suomy is actually too small for my wifes head because she has a shitload of hair.

i think this is the case. i have long hair and i can't have my hair tied while wearing a helmet cause the knot is in the way.
