    I feel juvenile now for remembering the male one by thinking that it looks like an abstract erect penis, lol

      Is that not what it is? I think the female symbol looks like abstract reproductive organs too.

        Both symbols are actually the symbols Roman gods.

        The shield and spear of Mars for the symbol of masculinity.

        The mirror of Venus for the symbol of feminity.

        It comes from Roman mythology, it was a symbol of Mars and is supposed to represent a spear and shield. I had to look up what the female symbol represents, allegedly it’s the hand mirror of Venus. I would bet it’s not a coincidence that they can be viewed as abstract genitals, though.
