Tell me how the Goddess Athena was born?

According to legend, Athena sprang fully-grown and fully-armed from the head of her father, Zeus, ruler of the gods on Mount Olympus. It is told that he swallowed his pregnant first wife, Metis, meaning wisdom, so that she would not bear a child stronger than he. In some versions of the story, Athena's birth was assisted by the blacksmith, Hephaestus, who opened Zeus's head with a stroke of his axe. This metaphor may suggest two possible interpretations and pose two questions. Was Zeus demonstrating his power by giving birth without a woman's help, or was he sharing his power with his daughter? Certainly, Hephaestus, a son of Zeus by his second wife, Hera, would appear to be an unlikely "midwife."

Something to consider, otherwise they might get clitorial phimosis (rare, but it happens) or clitoral adhesions (these also happen) or a lil bit of smegma. Plus girls are dirtier anyway they have so many folds and crevices and it's warm and damp which is perfect for bacteria to grow, little girls can't always wash that area good plus it's closer to their bottom than in guys and females are 3 times more likely to get UTIs. I know some of those things don't really seem specfically connected to the clitoral prepuce, but I'm sure it would improve general hygiene and look better. And seeing as the clitoral glans would be there (not to mention the whole rest of their pleasurable bits) they would be fine for sex.

She kinda just came out of his head. The moral of the story? Children are always a headache.
