I feel juvenile now for remembering the male one by thinking that it looks like an abstract erect penis, lol

    Is that not what it is? I think the female symbol looks like abstract reproductive organs too.

    It comes from Roman mythology, it was a symbol of Mars and is supposed to represent a spear and shield. I had to look up what the female symbol represents, allegedly it’s the hand mirror of Venus. I would bet it’s not a coincidence that they can be viewed as abstract genitals, though.
