Alright, *gets biology goggles*
"Females", as we call 'em, (technically the only necessary gender for reproduction) must be able to produce and raise offspring. The size varies depending on how they carry the offspring.
The sperm is separate from the female for most animals to ensure gene diversity. Thus, we have "males". The fact that most mammalian males are larger is because they're either competing for females to prove who has the better genes or must protect the female/his herd somehow. Through showing off how good he's at protecting, he attracts females.
It's different for most bird males. Their colorful guise is plainly and simply to show off their fabulous genes.
Fabulous. They're quite impractical animals. You might say they're the Lady Gagas of nature.
So, yeah. Turians are pseudo-avian. So, the males have the flashy head fringes and paint their faces, not the females. I'm rather impressed BioWare didn't anthropomorphize them.
