> However, there are also more surprising ideas, such as the suggestion that the figurines are headless and footless because they were self-portraits made by women, who sculpted what they saw. In this scenario, the exaggerated breasts, stomachs and vulvas are purely the result of a woman's eye view.
This reminded me about D. E. Harding's "On Having No Head".
And also about the stereotype suggesting ladies are prone to self-perception biased in a specific way - often seeing themselves as overweight even when perfectly fit.
Could these ways of thinking exist (notably worldwide, also notably supposedly predating abstraction-capable languages) even during the prehistoric days when there was no modern kind of cultural influence?
