In Touch With Your Feminine Side?

I take my historical accounts seriously. But that doesn't mean the mysterious--but true--one I tell here isn't funny. Is it the funniest? Hmm...

...maybe to half the world's population!

The male gender has been enamored by the penis since anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) caused his(?) Müllerian ducts, fallopian tubes, and uterus to regress, allowing the male fetus to progress, instead of the otherwise default, female.

Thus, the default--our steady state--is female. Left alone, the fetal human would always end up female. It takes extra effort--actual meddling--to chisel a male out of it. ("If it ain't broke...?)

Yet, in the real world--for too long, and finally changing--it was a Man's world. Women were second-class citizens. So is it any wonder that, as the proud males of our species thought of their penises as "mighty swords," that they would think of the act of copulation as placing such mighty swords where they belonged--sheathed for safekeeping?

Thus, the word, "vagina," comes from the Latin, for "sheath."

But no matter how masculine that makes a man feel, he should never forget that all men start out as women. Just sayin'.
