By unconsciously defining the sacrosanct woman, belonging to her husband or father and chaste, men have thrust the majority of modern women into the other mold. A woman in control of her own life cannot be cast readily into the virgin/saint role. So she is cast into the role of whore.

He invented a revolutionary system of doing it in one piece, designing special furnaces and bracing systems and winches for it, and even a way of casting it buried upside down in the marshy Milanese soil without cracking the mold. It becomes clear that Leonardo, despite Michelangelo's bitching about his ineptitude as a sculptor, knew exactly how to make the horse and was prevented from executing his plan only because, in the end, he had no bronze: it had all been requisitioned for cannon against the French...
