On my system (linux, R 1.5.1), underscore seems to work in file names both
quoted and unquoted.

I think you are trying to plot to line-plots on the same graph.  If so, you
should use

plot(female...) # no add= here
lines(male....) # no add= here

lines is basically the same as plot(), but it does not erase the previous
picture.  

If your idea was indeed to make to separate plots, drop add= in both cases.
