For both sexes, the opposite sex is a significant source of frustration and puzzlement. But for historical reasons if nothing else, men have thoroughly outnumbered women in mathematics. Therefore, there seems to have been a tendency for some mathematicians to unconsciously association (perhaps even conflate!) women and the admittedly frustrating set of prime numbers. It may be amusing, therefore, to speculate on what sort of freewheeling quotes might have emerged from an alternate, more feminist world, in which the vast majority of mathematicians were women and just as unreflective about their unconscious anxieties. Here's my start at such a project, and I'll ask the members of my (male) sex not to be too deeply offended. Then again, if you're male and these quotes offend you, think of it as a consciousness raising exercise, one Nellie McClung would recognize. You might find yourself experiencing increased empathy for working female mathematicians today, and the difficulties that the unconscious attitudes of their colleagues might pose. 
What women might say about the primes 
(if they spoke as male mathematicians sometimes do)
Quotes of the fictional mathematician "Rena Iris Jansen":
"One could be forgiven for thinking that the prime numbers are simply meandering like a brutal drunk. They may seem to be well behaved for very short periods and then just as suddenly, another bing of unpredictable disorder begins! And yet, amazingly, the prime numbers still manage to collectively impose a confused sort of order on themselves, that is, if they viewed (as one begins to think they should be viewed), from a distance."
"They appear... and then disappear just as suddenly, refusing to allow any thing or any body to organize them or put them to work. They seem shockingly content with local disorder." 
"The primes seem to become increasingly reserved with time; until, at infinity, they communicate with us, as a percentage, precisely none of the time." 
"A more useless group can hardly be imagined. Yet, curiously, we can't seem to leave them alone." 
"Withdrawn, remote, the primes lure us on, the most attractive bad boys of all the number sets whom we secretly hope will someday settle down for us, as they have not done for countless previous generations of mathematicians. Now, we have come to think that if we can just solve the Riemann Hypothesis, then, surely now they will change their ways, and cease to be mere abstractions to us." 
"We still don't have their number. Despite all the attention we have lavished on the primes, they have yet to fully respond. Infuriatingly, at times they seem willing to take our number, but never to call us back! The devotion of mathematicians has, so far, left this poorly behaved subset of integers largely unmoved."
