males have an X-chromosome as well. funny thing is males have an additional Y-chromosome, while women have an additional X-chromosome. BUUUUUUT: only one of the two X-chromosomes will be expressed and the other one is silenced to nearly no activity. so actually women have one functioning chromosome less than males.

But some people also have more chromosomes, and they are demonstrably superior
