“The hymen is a profound example of the way humans metaphorize anatomy. Here is an organ that has no biological function, and yet Western culture made up a powerful story about the hymen a long time ago.

Such a weird idea could have been invented only in a society where women were literally property, their vaginas their most valuable real estate - a gated community.”
