Document Summary
The power of language and the things we say. Men portrayed as protagonist in sexual research: sperm viewed as active" and egg as passive", sperm gives meaning to her existence. This view is found to be more accurate. The traditional view reinforces social roles that we have been accepting; that women are more passive and they should stay at home. The diction for play or b/c that is what we"ve understood reproduction to be like are still challenges that stop the realization of this. egg is still passive and sperm as active. Only difference between sperm and egg were that sperm were weaker than what they described it to be. Change is going to be tough, because even female individuals who are going into the top jobs have been taught the same as men: both have been taught same bias.
