I think I grew up thinking the arrow was just that: an arrow or other pointed weapon used in hunting, while the female symbol has wider hips.

    Well it was meant to be the symbol for mars so not far off. I don't get the female one though, no matter how long I look at it it just looks like a legless stick figure.

    I got no sources to back it up but I've taken that as a fact for very long time: the symbol for Mars (male/masculine) is a shield and a spear. The symbol for Venus (female/feminine) is a handheld mirror, that cross under the circle is the handle.
