Nope, she was of slightly HIGHER social standing.

I suspect, rather, that the problem may have started with the Greeks,
perhaps Aristotle, who couldn't count nether orifices even on his wife.
(Aristotle claimed that women didn't have a separate urethral opening.)

Hares and rabbits in general are often considered symbolic of lust and/or
reproduction, i.e. to reproduce like rabbits or to ***** like bunnies.
