Actually, both males and females have Adam's apples (which is just the thyroid cartilage). The only difference is that men's thyroid cartilages are more pronounced so they can be easily seen, but to find it on a woman you would have to feel for it.
Adam's AppleMen have an Adam's apple because their larynx (also called the "voice-box"), which contains the vocal cords is larger in men than in women. It is actually the thyroid cartilage, which makes up a part of the larynx, that protrudes from the front of the neck forming the familiar "Adam's apple.'

∙ 6y agoThe Adam's apple is a man's larynx stretched out. This happens during puberty, a man's hormones make your body grow much bigger, and your larynx does the same. As it stretches, your Adam's apple gets longer and your voice grows deeper.
cause were awsome
I don't know "why" but the Adam's apple is an organ we all have. It just grows larger in men. Their voices are deeper because of this. It's also much more visible in women who have very thin necks simply because ALL their bones and cartilege are easier to see. I suppose it's a bit like men tending to have stronger muscles. It's not really easy to answer "why."

Why do we have Adams apples?
The Adam's apple appears when the thyroid cartilage in your neck increases in size. This occurs due to the effects of testosterone, and is associated with male puberty. The thyroid cartilage increases in size to allow the vocal cords underneath to lengthen, which is what allows men to develop a deeper voice than women or children.The Adam's Apple is the protrusion of the thyroid cartilage around the larynx, which serves to protect the vocal cords and to provide support for seveal laryngeal muscles.
