Where else does the male ape and imitate feminine traits? As strange as this may sound, the male who does so is the Warrior's Quester. If you consider that the

• female body is the only one that naturally bleeds (menstruation), and that this

• bleeding identifies and validates her body as the source of all life, and

• even as the “food of life,” for only a mother’s body feeds a child at the breast,

• then you sense a direct connection with the Warrior’s fierce need to shed blood.

  Male bodies do not naturally bleed. They are not the life bearers. They are not food. But the Warrior's Quest male obtains meaning if he slays or is slain, if he is wounded or wounds, in battle. For some Warrior's Questers, the victor is imbued with the spirit and power of him who is slain—he "eats" his victim's soul.

Adam as Lone Male Warrior's Quester does not talk with Eve. They are not in a male-female relationship, they are not expressing intimacy, until she experiences the Serpent.
