Or so the story goes, but Da Vinci limited the manly features and the womanly ones to.

Also their two bodies connect to make kind of a V shape, which is one simple for the chalice, which really is meant to stand ofr woman.

Well, if you isolate Jesus and the womanly figure, yes they form a V which is an ancient sign for women, while a ^ is a sign for men.
If you look at the Mary figure and Jesus, you will see their clothing's color is inverted for one another.

Also there's a guy kinda of lsashing at her throat with her throat, and it you notice, the same guy is holding a dagger.

Yea, that's Peter who is (in ancient texts) jealous of Mary because Jesus entrusted her with his faith to continue preacher after he was killed, and not Peter. But the dagger is arguabley held by a foreign hand which. Not Peter's, or Mary (though one could make the mistake, if you look at Mary's position you will see it's not likely she's holding the knife ;))

Alot of his art showed symbolism of that nature, revolving around mary magdaline and the holy feminine.

Yeap, Da Vinci believed that Jesus wasn't the son of God, but a very respected leader who changed the lifestyles and inspired men to be better people. He also believed that Mary was the proof that the Bible (as we know it) was fabricated with a political agenda in mind by Constatine.
Ofcourse, the Holy Grail, considered as a blood line of Christ, if proven would show that Jesus was a earthly man, etc, etc.
