Achilles’ Heel
The reinvention of female sexuality over the millennia was achieved through the spread of new myths told by the gods, about the clitoris being the male soul of a woman, masculinizing her and preventing her from becoming a real woman.
The part of the clitoris that sticks out of the vulva was taught to be disgusting and dirty, leading to instability and excessive lust, a hindrance to coitus, causing offspring to die or grow even bigger clitorises and penises, and making male partners impotent upon contact.
Female sexual sensitivity, excitement and pleasure had to be weakened because an intact woman had orgasms faster and more often than a men, and had sexual intercourse with other women. Being intact became a derogatory term followed by social ostracism.
If all this didn’t work, the intact woman’s baby was murdered.
