the glyph that is purported to be a woman with her legs spread could just as easily represent an animal being splayed for meat.

It looked to me like those splayed legs were displaying meat and the arms held up in the WHOO HOO conformation.

It might be a hermaphrodite...

Of course, these same folks have for years been telling us that the Venus of Willendorf was a fertility totem...

...and as proof they offer as evidence the quite exaggerated primary female sex characteristics, pointing out that the stone age ideal of fecundity were the rounded, swollen, voluptuous features. Now, those same folks are telling us that a stick figure with no obvious female sex characteristics is also a totem of female fertility.

So much for universal symbology. Looks like the stone-age may have had it's own version of heroin chic.
