      I firmly believe that you can judge a civilization by whether their creation myths, folklore figures, and proto-deities are all on team phallus or team vulva.

      Most of the “good” ones by classical to modern standards; team vulva.

      I will neither elaborate nor go dig up references because that’s work and then a reader might be denied looking up ancient stone penises and vaginas for an afternoon, and that would be tragic.

        The norse creation myth involves frost-giants sucking the teats of a cow.

            I think that’s part of it too. First the cow licks a giant into life, and then it drinks maybe?
