It's genetic, and no, I don't think it affects women, but they do carry it.

Yeah, education is good.

Sex-linked means that it's usually affecting a chromosome. Women do tend to carry the mutated chromosome but aren't affecteed by it because they have two X chromosomes. Men only have one X chromosome and inherit the mutated one from their mother. For a female to have hemophilia, she must have two deficient X chromosomes. At least, I think that's what happens.
Oh, Sushigirl, Hi! Where have you been?

Someone has been studying. 0_0

Not really. I learned all this when I was little because I used to read a lot about the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaievna Romanova and her family. Her mother inherited the mutated gene from Queen Victoria and passed it on to her little brother.

That...is a really long name...

I guess it is. I really wouldn't want to be her. I feel sorry for her family, though. People can be so evil . . .
