A work about virility. I discovered that the word "vagina" derives from latin, which means "case for sword", or something like that. I find this little thing has something which carries an important meaning: how women and their organ were considered in history and culture (language is culture, and culture was made by men, because it wasn't considered something for women). This brings to the conclusion that while the male organ, the center of their virility is compared to the sword, the women's one is only the case. 

I find this quite funny, if we overturn the meaning: the sword needs protection. 

So, in this work I present the cases of the swords, which paradoxically assume the form of the male organ.
