10 people (including me) responded. Not enough to do any meaningful analysis of trends, but I did promise to post back results, so here’s what it looks like.

I think the shoulder measurement definition was vague, but the inseam and height and hand were pretty straightforward.
Besides the obvious problem that there’s hardly any data, the other problem is that there’s hardly any overlap in height between the men and women who responded. Nevertheless, the data here, though it doesn’t prove anything, is at least consistent with the “it’s a myth” proponents: there’s nothing here that even suggests that women of a given height would have longer legs (or even smaller hands) than men of the same height, in general.
