- RENAISSANCE PEOPLE THOUGHT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE UTERUS WOULD MAKE FEMALE BABIES
- MEDICAL ILLUSTRATION OFTEN DEPICTS FEMALES AS ON THE LEFT, WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY A MALE IMAGE
- IN MANY RELIGIONS THE LEFT IS ASSOCIATED WITH FEMALE ENERGY
- IN MANY RELIGIONS THE LEFT IS ASSOCIATE WITH EVIL AND IMPURITY
- SEMIOTICS LINK THE WORD LEFT WITH WEAKNESS AND EVIL AND THE WORD RIGHT WITH GOODNESS AND JUSTICE IN MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
- FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS MAY BE MORE FREQUENT ON THE LEFT (I.E. "FEMALE") SIDE OF THE BODY

Vagina — 1680s, from L. vagina "sheath, scabbard", from PIE *wag-ina- (cf. Lith. voziu "ro cover with a hollow thing"), from base *wag- "to break, split, bite."
Probably the ancient notion is of a sheath made from a split piece of wood. A modern medical word; the Latin word was not used in an anatomical sense in classical times.
Cunt — "female intercrural foramen," or, as some 18c. writers refer to it, "the monosyllable," [...] Some suggest a link with Latin cuneus "wedge," others to PIE base *geu- "hollow place," still others to PIE *gwen-, root of queen and Gk. gyne "woman."
