[lit-ideas] A Cavalier Attitude to Life

I'm studying the tenor role in I PURITANI (love to sing him), "Credeasi
misera", Arturo, a noncircumcised (we assume) cavalier.
In the old days, Brits were never circumcised, and called cavaliers
(versus roundheads).
While the opera is called I PURITANI and based on Scott (or other), it's
all about a royal cavalier attitude to life.
What is the equivalent for a female of circumcised versus uncircumcised.
This is, as Geary notes, a "guy thing", and perhaps the lack of an equivalent
in feminine psychology may explain some.
Cheers,
