Document Summary
The way the egg and sperm are represented in science reflect the social stereotypes of men and women. Language matters how we refer to things. Society sees sperm as fast, strong, powerful, brave, leader . Society sees the egg as passive, fragile, complete once sperm enters it . Traditionally, fertilization is seen as sperm competing to reach the egg while the egg waits. Woody allen"s movie everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask show sperm is scared". Women"s egg production is represented as wasteful while men"s sperm production is not. Reality is that egg traps the sperm so that it is forced to lie flat against the zona: women shown as more aggressive hard to accept.
