It's always good to get the uneducated view on evolution.

Oh, now that explains everything, if you don't know the why answer just admit you do not know.

Yeah, GC, because as we all know, both genders must have popped into existence exactly as they are now right from the very start........... 
You're going to have to learn at least a smidge of evolutionary biology before you're even capable of forming a question that isn't absurd on it's very face. That said, we don't ultimately know why gender ended up the way it did, or when, precisely it happened, or under what circumstances. And?

Sounds like my question has stumped you, seems you know very little yourself if one you accuse of not knowing much can stump you.

Oh good grief, *hundreds* of papers have been written about it. They've even run experiments with species that have both sexes and hermaphrodites. And BTW, the male/female thing is mostly for land animals. Lots of ocean fish don't work that way - like ribbon eels or clownfish. Stuff like asynchronous hermaphrodites (animals that are born male then turn female). Not to mention plants, and then fungi, which are + and - instead of M/F. Or you could look here, in wikipedia. There was recently a paper published that showed how primroses that use sexual reproduction don't accumulate harmful mutations.

I wasn't making any claims of knowledge I do not have, yet you were insinuating you were superior in knowledge, and compared to me you may very well be, in some areas. I stated a question that no ones answered yet.

You started a question for which no one has an answer and have since failed to realize that there is no importance whatsoever in having done so. It's trivially easy. Why did I mix my whiskey with ginger ale, that you can;t answer means "therefore no god".

First off most fish are either male or female, whether they live in salt or fresh water. Secondly I of know of the strange nature of reproduction with some animals, but the real question remains sexual reproduction is complicated and the two sexes would have to evolve at the same exact time in all their complicated needs or poof.
