Document Summary
Useless until a sperm gives meaning to her existence. Most biology texts, popular culture, medical journals depict an incredible male bias. 200 million sperm are produced in an hour while there is complaint about the waste of a total 2 million eggs in a female at birth. Men and women are different but not as much as we have been led to believe. We project our differences to other areas academic abilities, sports. Change only occurs when both genders work together and create pressure. John hopkin"s view is that the egg traps the sperm took 3 years for scientists to accept this idea! New paradigm = women as dangerous and aggressive threat. Femme fatale syndrome = women who victimize men. Every human being needs to be respected regardless of race, gender, etc. Scientists described the sperm and egg differently but still in damaging terms: sperm perform the same actions but weakly.
