Sex symbol

The Mars symbol ♂ is a common symbol that represents the male sex. The symbol is identical to the planetary symbol of Mars. It was first used to denote sex by Carl Linnaeus in 1751. The symbol is sometimes seen as a stylized relation of the shield and spear of the Roman god Mars. According to Stearn, however, this derivation is "fanciful" and any the historical evidence favours "the conclusion of the French classical scholar Claude de Saumaise Salmasius, 1588–1683" that it is derived from θρ, the contraction of a Greek name for the planet Mars, which is Thouros.
