Perhaps the greatest strand of continuity between Aristotle and Galen (and between the ancient Greco-Roman tradition and the early Christian tradition) is their one-sex model/discourse surrounding gender; both of these thinkers believe that the female is an inverted and imperfect version of the male.

This is largely evident in Galen’s writing as he states “all the parts that men have have women have too..in women the parts are
