Default Comparative Histogram

I am trying to create a "comparative" histogram to show the amount of songs
on an ipod for men vs women. Can't figure out how to get this to work.

Default Comparative Histogram

A better chart type might be a dot plot:

Sometimes people use tornado charts:

but it's harder than it looks to compare bars that go in opposite
directions.
