Question 1

Julia,

While reading Kessler and McKenna, I too wondered about the significance of the penis as a "gender characteristic." It is interesting that you brought up the point about the penis as a more external, more visible genital. This is exactly what I was thinking. Still, though, I can't seem to understand why the breasts aren't equally as significant. Do not breasts have the same characteristics.. external, visible part of the body?

Did anyone else/ Does anyone else have a way to explain this?
