Although I have not been following this thread at each twist and turn, I seem to recall that most of the postings have been about men and boys. I find it interesting that the Grimm brothers tell a story about a girl whose hands have been cut off by her father. There are similar stories in other cultures (an African one comes to mind) about girls who have had their hands severed by their fathers, none literary tales, all folklore.
