At seven years old and thence onward to fourteen, a male, and katabolic, phase sets in.
"Feminism and Sex-Extinction"
Arabella Kenealy
We find the well-nourished, larger, and usually more quiescent cell is the female, the hungrier and more mobile cell the male; the one concerned with storing energy, the other with consuming it, the one building up, the other breaking down; or expressed in biological formula, the female cell is predominantly anabolic, that of the male predominantly katabolic.

C. Gasquoine Hartley
We regard the woman as relatively more anabolic, man as relatively more katabolic, and whether this biological hypothesis is a good one or not, it certainly does no social harm.
