nah, I'm not going to let that confuse me because it took me years to make some sort of association in my mind to remember which symbol meant what. All I remember is that since I'm a woman and I'm attracted to men, I point to men, therefore the arrow means men. I can't remember anything else beyond that. other than using the process of elimination to figure out the other ones.
I feel juvenile now for remembering the male one by thinking that it looks like an abstract erect penis, lol
When I was growing up I never understood nor was I ever told what those symbols met, the first time I saw them was in fireboy and watergirl and my first thought when seeing them was exactly as described in the meme, which confused me because both fireboy and watergirl have bodies and neither of them have horns.
I think I grew up thinking the arrow was just that: an arrow or other pointed weapon used in hunting, while the female symbol has wider hips.
Well it was meant to be the symbol for mars so not far off. I don't get the female one though, no matter how long I look at it it just looks like a legless stick figure.
The female one is the symbol for Venus, actually. Beyond that looks to be a Wikipedia rabbit hole I don't think I'm going to go down tonight.
I got no sources to back it up but I've taken that as a fact for very long time: the symbol for Mars (male/masculine) is a shield and a spear. The symbol for Venus (female/feminine) is a handheld mirror, that cross under the circle is the handle.
I can kind of see how it would be a mirror, if the circle was bigger.
For me, I'm a male, and I'm going towards female. So female is like attracting the male which means it's a +. Idk.
