I hope someone has a scientific answer for this, but I'm also expecting most people to joke about it. :P

Pretty much, everyone starts out as a female in the womb.

Males have mammeries and nipples are used to extract milk from them. Men can also lactate and be diagnosed with breast cancer.

As others have said, I assume it's something to do with how gender is defined, and at what stage.

You basically start out as a female when you are in the womb, and so you start developing womanly traits. Then your specific sex hormones/genes/whatever kicks in and you start developing as a male. But that happens after you have nipples.

Indeed this. The foetus has the ability to become either gender while in the womb, that's why men and women have nipples, and the little man in the boat somewhat reminisces a very devolved penis Men can also lactate

I suppose there's no real purpose in having them but if you're asking why we do, it's because nipples aren't apart of the sex chromosome

Yes. That is the real question. Women should be allowed to go around shirtless. Equal rights I say. :P

You don't want that, really. There's manboobs, and then there's ugly breasts. A man who's in his 40s, with loads of chest hair, a beer gut and big moobs is nothing compared to a woman whose breasts are hanging halfway down her stomach. Trust me on this.

because in the early stages of development, we are all female. It isnt until later in the pregnancy that the body starts to become male.

Men also develop ovoducts, but they leave the body before birth.

I think what people mean by "changing sex" is that the genitals are developed after the nipples.

I note that the question asked was "Why should men have nipples?" rather than "Why do men have nipples?"

This would suggest that they are a luxury that can be removed should we be unable to account for our need of them. You shall have no such account from me; these are my nipples, I've been using them for years, and you have no right to take them from me!

Actually sex is determined by the release of hormones at a specific point in development. During the first few weeks fetus are sexless. Then in the presence of a large amount of testosterone the fetus begins to masculinate. Without it the embro will develop into a girl. Now normally the Y-chromosome will give the instructions to start manufacturing testosterone during this period. However there are rare cases where it malfunctions, resulting in a hermaphrodite or, even more rarely, an XY girl. it is also possible for an X chromosome to malfunction and start producing too much testosterone.

No, this is completely wrong, an egg carries an x chromosome and a sperm can, 50/50 carry a y or x chromosome, if the fetus ends up with two x's it become a girl if it has an x and y it becomes males.
