The divine difference between the two sexes surprises our animal natures, the modesty of animal nature violated only by the lion's mane, the colorful male bird. We notice gender differences of the human as so opposite as to be almost absurd. I am not laughing at you. Dogs and cats, those noble creatures, look the same, really, whether male or female. What I know of naked Aphrodite has always been a question for as long as I can remember, even when I was a boy and afraid. Defending my fire makes me uncomfortable. I confess my intellectual nature in my mind, kneeling in the cool shade.
