Bladed weapons were symbols of masculinity from times immemorial. Not for nothing swords in Freudian psychology were connected with "penis". On the other hand, scabbards were feminine: in Polish, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Hebrew etc. the word for "scabbard" shares its meaning with "vagina".
No reason to be prudish: we are talking about traditions of hundreds and thousands years old. Last edited by ariel; 18th February 2016 at 08:01 PM. |
