[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 33542, member: 45"]My point is, you are seeing something else than what is there. Neither one is "obviously male." I don't know what you are seeing. I'm not seeing anything in the photos other than two Akuaba dolls, which may or may not be old, and/or "authentic." Maybe you're seeing a belly button. Navels are often a prominent feature of female fertility figures, being the direct symbolic contact between mother and child. If this were a male fertility figure, it would feature an "obviously male" part, enlarged to the point we wouldn't be having this discussion! These are both female figures. Both are Akuaba dolls, which by definition are female fertility figures.[/QUOTE]
