I am on opposite statement
you know between animals /birds there are sexual/gender dimorphism( i am not sure in english equivalence of dimorphism-it's mean male exemplar are more feathured,colourful,but female are monochrome)
see tribes in africa/america
the same condition
men wears eyering,penis rings,needles ,tattoos on face(maories)
the explanation that today we are cultural beings is not adequate in the epoch of postmodernism and post structuralistic society-art-literature-politic-metaphysic-science..
the nature is not oposite to culture,psyche,law
we said sexual appealing is surnatural
what this mean no-natural..muchnatural-unrational or non-cultural or ubercultural.
I am not sure that sur natural is only accidental,and used as accessoirs,not as essential..
So,we got an epochal split into the split NATURE/CULTURE,Law,history,fashion
fashion is what seeks for reconcilliation of this splited body of primordial androgine(see Plato's myth-Symposium,diothime),and reconcilliate the splited body of BEING-divided on soma and soul,psyche...Being when is the Nietzschean being is ubermensch,surhomme being dancing..being of decartes is cogitational,being of in-stance,statism of body,because (human)being is engaged to considarate,to rationalize

Dimorphism means that there two strands with highly divergent characteristics within one species, not that the male is adorned whereas the female plain. And moving away from semantics I don't see why you point this out because humans are not alike these species. A human male cannot be 'voluptous'. I don't see what post-modernism or post-structuralism have to do with this either. Nor do I see any link between postmodernism and meta-physics. Postmodernism and metaphysics put together would contain more aporia than you could shake a post-structuralist stick at. Furthermore, nature is often opposite to both culture and law. In England we have a culture which respects traditional Christian virtues. However, in many studies, it has been shown that humans will lie and cheat as long as they think they can get away with it. Not very Christian, huh? Beyond this point I can't really follow your argument - you use a lot of words that don't exist in English.
