I could go the devil's advocate route and say maybe it had to be a male's primta for the son due to biological reasons. "The father's right" bantered about in Bloodlines. Just like you can't give wrong type blood to people, maybe an adjusted primta can't go to the opposite sex? |
well, shonac was a priestess in the temple, not an ordianry jaffa woman like dreyac. and they say that the symbiote has no gender (marty in tokra).
someone else suggested that maybe jaffa women get snakes after they reach the end of thier child bearing years. i dunno....given how a symbiote mucks with a woman's biology (like in shau'ri, having to be dormant for the pregnancy) it doesn't make sense for women to be jaffa hosts. if junior is messing with teal'c's metabolism(slowing his ageing, fixing his wounds) then he'd do the same with a woman...but a woman's reproductive cycles are more timely than a man's. her body has to produce/ripen and release eggs to be fertile.
or maybe i'm just thinking too much about it...it just doesn't fit in well with what we know to me
