13th Century Sexism...

Look closely.  The tower on the right is ever-so-slightly taller and wider.  A powerful male "protecting" a frailer female.  Ah - those sexist Gothic architects...

Architecture has gender now? Does the taller "male" tower ever catcall the "female" tower. I mean its not like she can walk away or anything...

I didn't notice any catcalling. But the Taller Tower was sober so who knows what happens after someone brings him his nightcap...
