1 I, 1 | from the union of male and female, i.e. all those kinds of 2 I, 1 | complete, is either male or female, and though some bloodless 3 I, 1 | offspring is neither male nor female; such are some of the insects. 4 I, 2 | said above, the male and female principles may be put down 5 I, 2 | being from the male and female. For it is just because 6 I, 2 | generates in another, and by a female that which generates in 7 I, 2 | naming Earth mother as being female, but addressing Heaven and 8 I, 2 | causing generation.~Male and female differ in their essence 9 I, 2 | another, as said above; the female is that which is able to 10 I, 2 | male will differ from the female. (For even though we speak 11 I, 2 | animal as a whole as male or female, yet really it is not male 12 I, 2 | really it is not male or female in virtue of the whole of 13 I, 2 | fact such parts are in the female the so-called uterus, in 14 I, 2 | differences of male and female in all the bloodless animals 15 I, 2 | much that it seems to be female or not far short of it, 16 I, 2 | an animal is not male or female in virtue of an isolated 17 I, 2 | which distinguishes male and female suffers change, many other 18 I, 5 | mount upon the back of the female, but they conjugate standing 19 I, 8 | facts about the uterus in female animals, for there are many 20 I, 13| applies to the uterus of the female, and this fixing must take 21 I, 15| the parts of animals. The female has a part corresponding 22 I, 15| union of the male with the female takes place at this point, 23 I, 15| male into the funnel of the female, by which arm the fishermen 24 I, 15| mounting on the back of the female, but whether for generation 25 I, 16| of those which unite the female is larger than the male. 26 I, 16| insert any part into the female, but the female from below 27 I, 16| into the female, but the female from below upwards into 28 I, 16| that the male mounts the female), the opposite in few cases; 29 I, 16| oviparous quadrupeds that the female is larger than the because 30 I, 16| reason of the eggs. In the female the part analogous to the 31 I, 17| some not; and whether the female also contributes any semen 32 I, 17| ask whether both male and female produce it or only one of 33 I, 18| similar to what comes from the female.~Again, if the semen comes 34 I, 18| of tally in the male and female, and that the whole offspring 35 I, 18| For why does not the female generate from herself if 36 I, 18| clean vessels; some wax female, if they fall in with cold"). 37 I, 18| fertile, but also from bearing female to bearing male offspring, 38 I, 18| down as being so, that the female sex is not determined by 39 I, 18| can become either male or female child, which shows that 40 I, 18| least in most of these, the female in the act of copulation 41 I, 18| same as that.~Again, if the female does not produce semen, 42 I, 18| it does not come from the female, but that the female is 43 I, 18| the female, but that the female is cause of the generation 44 I, 18| do so, i.e. from male and female, others from only one parent, 45 I, 18| animals in which male and female are not separately differentiated. 46 I, 18| from the union of male and female, be it a foetus or an ovum, 47 I, 18| less inclined to mount the female; for which reason they thin 48 I, 19| it clear (1) whether the female also produces semen like 49 I, 19| semen is secreted by the female, and, (2) if not, whether 50 I, 19| is the character of the female—putting all these considerations 51 I, 19| matter discharged by the female is also a secretion. And 52 I, 19| what corresponds in the female to the semen in the male, 53 I, 19| together, it is plain that the female does not contribute semen 54 I, 19| secretion.~And a proof that the female does not emit similar semen 55 I, 19| some say, is that often the female conceives without the sensation 56 I, 19| right proportion. Hence the female does not produce young if 57 I, 19| It is clear then that the female contributes the material 58 I, 20| 20~Some think that the female contributes semen in coition 59 I, 20| certain incapacity that the female is female, being incapable 60 I, 20| incapacity that the female is female, being incapable of concocting 61 I, 20| nutriment.~And a sign that the female does not emit semen is the 62 I, 20| in the same region of the female as of the male; and yet 63 I, 20| as the catamenia in the female; this indicates that the 64 I, 20| things in which the male and female are not separated the semen ( 65 I, 20| first mixture of male and female; hence, from one semen comes 66 I, 20| efficient cause, while the female contributes the material. 67 I, 20| divided into parts in the female. Why it is sometimes divided 68 I, 20| into being.~That, then, the female does not contribute semen 69 I, 20| effective and active, and the female, considered as female, for 70 I, 20| the female, considered as female, for the passive, it follows 71 I, 20| it follows that what the female would contribute to the 72 I, 21| material which comes from the female? Or does the semen communicate 73 I, 21| of the secretion in the female. Now the latter alternative 74 I, 21| which is moved. But the female, as female, is passive, 75 I, 21| moved. But the female, as female, is passive, and the male, 76 I, 21| males which unite with the female do not, it appears, insert 77 I, 21| part of themselves into the female, but on the contrary the 78 I, 21| but on the contrary the female inserts a part of herself 79 I, 21| produced by the semen in the female (in the case of those animals 80 I, 21| male animal itself when the female inserts that part of herself 81 I, 21| and when they separate the female produces the embryo quickly; 82 I, 21| and the nutriment in the female, for the second semen added 83 I, 21| oviparous fishes. When the female has laid her eggs, the male 84 I, 21| the contribution of the female to the generative product 85 I, 21| principle of movement and the female the material. This is why 86 I, 21| material. This is why the female does not produce offspring 87 I, 21| birds, the nature of the female unassisted can generate 88 I, 22| embryo takes place in the female; neither the male himself 89 I, 22| the male himself nor the female emits semen into the male, 90 I, 22| semen into the male, but the female receives within herself 91 I, 22| by both, because in the female is the material from which 92 I, 22| birth must take place in the female. For the carpenter must 93 I, 22| not emit semen, but the female inserts some part of herself 94 I, 23| individual being male and one female, though both are the same 95 I, 23| these powers are mingled, female not being separated from 96 I, 23| seed, into the male and female existing in them.~In all 97 I, 23| by the union of male and female, Nature has mixed these 98 II, 1 | 1~THAT the male and the female are the principles of generation 99 II, 1 | becomes and is male, another female? It is the business of our 100 II, 1 | But since the male and female essences are the first principles 101 II, 1 | male is separated from the female. For the first principle 102 II, 1 | the material whereby it is female. The male, however, comes 103 II, 1 | together and mingles with the female for the work of generation, 104 II, 1 | participating in the male and female principles, wherefore even 105 II, 1 | generation are yet male and female; from their union something 106 II, 1 | emitting semen into the female when this has entered into 107 II, 1 | themselves, taking it from the female parent, as all those which 108 II, 3 | which emit semen into the female, that which enters makes 109 II, 3 | whether what is forming in the female receives anything material, 110 II, 3 | material supplied by the female without entering with the 111 II, 3 | imparted to the material in the female. If the latter, then either 112 II, 3 | come out again from the female or to form any part of the 113 II, 3 | corresponding secretion of the female and moves it with the same 114 II, 3 | is moved itself. For the female’s contribution also is a 115 II, 3 | which differentiate the female from the male, for just 116 II, 3 | also the young born of a female are sometimes female and 117 II, 3 | of a female are sometimes female and sometimes male instead. 118 II, 3 | sometimes male instead. For the female is, as it were, a mutilated 119 II, 3 | to the secretion of the female it becomes an embryo.~Liquid 120 II, 4 | when it is either male or female, in the case of those animals 121 II, 4 | produced from a male or female parent nor from a union 122 II, 4 | which is neither male nor female. Of the generation of these 123 II, 4 | region of the uterus in the female—the two blood-vessels, the 124 II, 4 | they convey, nor is the female nature able to concoct it, 125 II, 4 | reasons given; for, the female nature being unable to concoct 126 II, 4 | material supplied by the female, so do the animals in question 127 II, 4 | body with Soul or life; the female always provides the material, 128 II, 4 | by calling them male and female. Thus while it is necessary 129 II, 4 | it is necessary for the female to provide a body and a 130 II, 4 | While the body is from the female, it is the soul that is 131 II, 4 | final result resembles the female in form, just as foreign 132 II, 4 | And hence the part of the female which receives the semen 133 II, 4 | form the purest part of the female secretion (for the greater 134 II, 4 | quantity forming within the female altogether is as much as 135 II, 4 | insects, by the part in the female analogous to the uterus 136 II, 4 | accompanying sexual pleasure in the female contributes nothing to the 137 II, 4 | secretion of the corresponding female material, whether it be 138 II, 4 | front of this, where the female discharges the moisture 139 II, 4 | material secreted by the female in the uterus has been fixed 140 II, 4 | that the secretion of the female is potentially such as the 141 II, 4 | other is acted upon. The female, then, provides matter, 142 II, 4 | others.] In plants, then, the female is not separated from the 143 II, 4 | separated the male needs the female besides.~ 144 II, 5 | it is that, if indeed the female possesses the same soul 145 II, 5 | is the secretion of the female which is the material of 146 II, 5 | it is impossible for the female to generate an animal from 147 II, 5 | wind-eggs, showing that the female can generate up to a certain 148 II, 5 | those of a plant. And so the female animal needs the help of 149 II, 5 | fertile if the male tread the female in a certain space of time. 150 II, 5 | kind of animal which is female and has no male separate 151 II, 5 | fishes are neither male nor female, as eels and a kind of mullets 152 II, 5 | the sexes are separate the female cannot generate perfectly 153 II, 7 | individual, whether male or female, is sterile is a general 154 II, 8 | the offspring of male and female horse, male and female ass, 155 II, 8 | and female horse, male and female ass, is not sterile? And 156 II, 8 | generative fluid of the male and female horse is soft. But both 157 II, 8 | to apply to both male and female mules alike, but the male 158 II, 8 | age, it is said; it is the female alone that is entirely sterile, 159 II, 8 | development of the embryo, for a female mule has been known to conceive.~ 160 II, 8 | as follows. From male and female of the same species there 161 II, 8 | course of nature male and female of the same species as the 162 II, 8 | the parents, e.g. male and female puppies from male and female 163 II, 8 | female puppies from male and female dog. From parents of different 164 II, 8 | the product of male and female of the same species is also 165 II, 8 | that if a horse mount a female already impregnated by an 166 II, 8 | material contributed by the female are cold, and those of the 167 II, 8 | also that the bodies of female mules grow large because 168 II, 8 | sometimes possible for the female to conceive, as has been 169 II, 8 | naturally hotter than the female and because it does not 170 III, 1 | emitting semen into the female. But among the ovipara ( 171 III, 1 | generation that exists in the female of all animals, birds have 172 III, 1 | chickens and goslings. Also the female partridges which are taken 173 III, 1 | at the mere sight of the female or at a slight touch. And 174 III, 1 | male, the yolk from the female; both on the contrary come 175 III, 1 | the contrary come from the female, but the one is cold, the 176 III, 5 | assert that all fish are female except in the cartilaginous 177 III, 5 | at the right season. The female also has a uterus. But if 178 III, 5 | class, just as male and female in all the vivipara. The 179 III, 5 | assert that conception in female fishes is caused by their 180 III, 5 | year, and the nearer the female is to laying the more abundant 181 III, 5 | male and of the roe in the female takes place at the same 182 III, 5 | Thus then they are male and female, and all of them copulate ( 183 III, 6 | those of the male and of the female, and that the trochus impregnates 184 III, 6 | like the pudendum of the female. Both male and female have 185 III, 6 | the female. Both male and female have such a mark, but the 186 III, 7 | perfect the eggs, when the female has deposited them, rather 187 III, 8 | been seen uniting with the female. Therefore those who say 188 III, 8 | who say that all fish are female and lay eggs without copulation 189 III, 8 | for the egg is under the female and is hard-shelled. Both 190 III, 10| former are male, the latter female, while others say that the 191 III, 10| are male and the drones female). But all these views are 192 III, 10| suppose that the bees are female and the drones male, for 193 III, 10| weapons for fighting to any female, and while the drones are 194 III, 10| are male and the drones female, for no males are in the 195 III, 10| some of them male and some female, for in all kinds of animals 196 III, 10| copulation, being indeed female in respect of generative 197 III, 10| we ought not to call that female in which the male sex is 198 III, 11| have it mingled with the female principle within themselves, 199 IV, 1 | classes. But, since male and female are distinct in the most 200 IV, 1 | already made between male and female.~It is disputed, however, 201 IV, 1 | whether the embryo is male or female, as the case may be, even 202 IV, 1 | from the male while the female only provides the place 203 IV, 1 | male is from the right, the female from the left testis, and 204 IV, 1 | right of the uterus, the female in the left. Others, as 205 IV, 1 | enters it becomes male or female, the cause of the heat or 206 IV, 1 | that one embryo becomes female and another male, but that 207 IV, 1 | the part by which male and female differ from one another. 208 IV, 1 | having all the parts of the female, the other those of the 209 IV, 1 | which has no uterus will be female and that which has will 210 IV, 1 | explain the origin of male and female is practically the same 211 IV, 1 | previously.~Moreover male and female twins are often found together 212 IV, 1 | have become either male or female, but as it is we do not 213 IV, 1 | the male and some in the female parent, which is why they 214 IV, 1 | sundered", part in the female parent and part in the male, 215 IV, 1 | the two becomes male or female according as one part prevails 216 IV, 1 | one part makes the embryo female by prevailing through some 217 IV, 1 | offspring would be not only female or male but also like its 218 IV, 1 | of an embryo as male or female; this is so even if no semen 219 IV, 1 | secreted by either male or female, but the embryo is formed 220 IV, 1 | comes from the right and the female from the left. If the male 221 IV, 1 | difference between male and female by the heat and cold of 222 IV, 1 | this part, it will be a female without a uterus, and so 223 IV, 1 | has been said before, a female embryo has been observed 224 IV, 1 | up the result is male or female offspring respectively; 225 IV, 1 | which produce both male and female offspring, nevertheless 226 IV, 1 | are the causes of male and female, or that the different sexes 227 IV, 1 | exists. But (1) the male and female are distinguished by a certain 228 IV, 1 | in something else—but the female is that which receives semen, 229 IV, 1 | and incapacity that the female is more abundant in blood 230 IV, 1 | suppose, thinking that the female is hotter than the male 231 IV, 1 | it is necessary that both female and male should have organs. 232 IV, 1 | reason one embryo becomes female and another male. For when 233 IV, 1 | into its opposite. Now the female is opposite to the male, 234 IV, 1 | in so far as the one is female and the other male. And 235 IV, 1 | approximate closely to the female form. The reason of this 236 IV, 1 | certain capacity and the female is such in virtue of an 237 IV, 1 | animal will be either male or female), and in the other kinds 238 IV, 1 | principle and cause of male and female, and this is the part of 239 IV, 1 | animal becomes definitely female or male by the time when 240 IV, 1 | also the parts by which the female differs from the male, for 241 IV, 1 | please that it is male or female, any more than it is able 242 IV, 1 | corresponding secretion of the female in that it contains a principle 243 IV, 1 | whereas the secretion of the female contains material alone. 244 IV, 1 | element prevails it draws the female element into itself, but 245 IV, 1 | or is destroyed. But the female is opposite to the male, 246 IV, 1 | opposite to the male, and is female because of its inability 247 IV, 1 | being the part by which the female differs from the male.~ 248 IV, 2 | what reason the one becomes female and the other male. Observed 249 IV, 2 | generation.~The male and female, then, are distinguished 250 IV, 2 | the production of male and female offspring, for the causes 251 IV, 2 | mixture of the male and female elements. And for this cause 252 IV, 2 | concerns generation of male or female offspring.~One country also 253 IV, 3 | and in each part, male and female offspring resembling father 254 IV, 3 | offspring should become female instead of male; this, however, 255 IV, 3 | not to prevail over the female in the mixture of the two 256 IV, 3 | that animals should produce female young). And the monstrosity, 257 IV, 3 | the embryo male and not female, like the father and not 258 IV, 3 | male, the offspring becomes female; if in so far as it is Coriscus 259 IV, 3 | potentially those of the female and the remoter ancestors. 260 IV, 3 | the male but also in the female line the movement of the 261 IV, 3 | line the movement of the female parent changes into that 262 IV, 3 | resemble the father, and the female the mother. For in the latter 263 IV, 3 | resembling the mother and female children resembling the 264 IV, 3 | over, the child will be female and resembling most probably 265 IV, 3 | remote ancestors in the female line on the same principle.~ 266 IV, 3 | all these phenomena, (1) female and male offspring are produced, ( 267 IV, 3 | similar to their parents, female to female and male to male, 268 IV, 3 | their parents, female to female and male to male, and others 269 IV, 3 | explain how it is that a female child can be like the father 270 IV, 3 | semen coming the male or female parent, and that this is 271 IV, 3 | child is male and another female, cannot show how the female 272 IV, 3 | female, cannot show how the female is to resemble the father 273 IV, 3 | distinction of sex, (2) why the female is often like the father 274 IV, 4 | separated but all enters the female at once.~If, then, we must 275 IV, 4 | material contributed by the female and in the embryo as it 276 IV, 4 | one being male, the other female; this is known in men and 277 IV, 4 | they have both male and female generative parts; there 278 IV, 4 | mixing with the semen of the female, or whether, as we say, 279 IV, 4 | the material within the female and the generative secretion 280 IV, 4 | discharges more of the female secretion than is needed 281 IV, 4 | dry up the material of the female and destroy it. So fire 282 IV, 4 | that the secretion of the female and that from the male need 283 IV, 4 | material contributed by the female is so much that several 284 IV, 4 | one male and the other female]. When such duplication 285 IV, 4 | vanquished there, then the one is female and the other male. (For 286 IV, 4 | whole animal is male or female, or why the parts are so, 287 IV, 4 | distance to have both male and female generative organs. The passage 288 IV, 5 | size the secretion of the female is all used up for the one 289 IV, 5 | all the secretion of the female is converted to the first 290 IV, 5 | and the quantity of the female secretion are both greater 291 IV, 6 | is much superior to the female in natural heat, and so 292 IV, 6 | moves about more than the female, and on account of moving 293 IV, 6 | this same reason also the female foetus is not perfected 294 IV, 6 | animals, for in them the female is not later in developing 295 IV, 6 | while within the mother the female takes longer in developing, 296 IV, 6 | and we must look upon the female character as being a sort 297 IV, 6 | man if one be male and one female, but this is not at all 298 IV, 6 | needs be too late or the female too early; in the other 299 IV, 8 | and the catamenia of the female are of a sanguineous nature, 300 V, 3 | because they change into the female condition. And as to the 301 V, 3 | change from the male to the female condition.~The reason why 302 V, 7 | thing also in the male and female sexes; in the other kinds 303 V, 7 | animals the voice of the female is higher than that of the 304 V, 7 | the other because of their female nature, the part by which 305 V, 7 | castrated change to the female character, and utter a voice 306 V, 7 | generally changes to the female character in castrated animals;
