Contrary to the biblically derived idea that the female is a male with no penis, the truth is actually that the male is a female with an adapted vulva . T he descent of the gonads from their ovary-positions into the developing scrotum is inherently a destructive process. It requires that the incipient testicles push their way through the musculo-tendinous membranes of the body cavity to reach the outside. B ecause these membranes have already formed in a way that is female-specific in how they reinforce and support the internal organs, this pushing of the testicles through them creates weaknesses in those membranes. In these species, the females produce eggs that are already fertile no male input is necessary, nor, indeed, is it possible, for there are no males in these species .
T here are several species of fish in which all offspring are born female.
On the occurrence of certain environmental stimuli, some of the females of these species will, from hormonal actions, turn into males. T he mythology that holds that the male is the original, true form has been used for many thousands of years as false evidence of the divinely ordained superiority of the male. It has been cited as legitimization of man s abuse of woman. From denial of rights to rape to murder, this lie has been perpetrated against her. Because man thought woman to be incompletely developed, imperfect in body, mind and spirit, she has long been treated as inferior.
