Human osteology help for hw!?

Question

How do you do sex determination on a bone?

I need as many details as possible. I DO know that, say, with a human skull the chin is more rectangular for males and rounder for females. That in the pelvis the space is tighter (harder to move finger inside of) when it comes to males and there's a lot of room if female.

thanks a lot!
