Modern medical science (ask any modern obstetrician & gynaecologist) confirms that every foetus in the human womb is first conceived as a female only. Clinical observation of human embryo in the first 4-6 weeks after conception has proved beyond doubt that foetal genitalia typically conforms in all cases to the female anatomical and physiological structure. In other words, all human foetus is conceived first as female only. It is only after a few weeks of conception that hormonal processes occur (testesterone in the case of male embryos and estrogen in the case of female embryos) and it is then that the foetus begins actually to transform into either a fully developed male or female. Human gender is determined in the womb first through hormonal change and only later through genetic or chromosomal manifestation (i.e through the preponderance of the "x" or "y" chromosomes). Make no mistake about it -- we were all once female ('sthri') before we became male('purusha'). If only this medical fact were made known more widely amongst the men of the world, they would have, I should think, far more respect for the opposite sex than they presently have. As for the VisishtAdvaita siddhAntam, it certainly knows what it is talking about when it says that we are all 'sthree-s' and there is only one 'purusha' -- the Supreme One, the "parama-purushan".
