45. Yes you have.
"The larynx grows during puberty in males more than in females, and as a result the Adam's apple is typically more prominent in men than in women or prepubescent girls or boys. This growth of the larynx is also the reason for the voice cracking in teenage boys. Another reason for the Adam's apple being more prominent in males is that the two laminae of the cartilage meet at an angle of 90° in males but that angle is 120° in females.

Although a prominent Adam's apple is commonly considered a secondary sex characteristic, women with noticeable Adam's apples are by no means extremely rare. Examples of well-known women with prominent Adam's apples include Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, and Francesca Neri."

You no longer have ignorance as an excuse for your absurd opinion.
