Happy International Women's Day!
Human reproduction is commonly portrayed as a gigantic marathon swimming event in which the fastest, fittest s***m wins the race and prize of fertilizing the egg.
Yet another male dominated fantasy about the creation of life.
The notion that human s***m, once ej******ed, begin a frantic race to reach the egg has completely overshadowed the real story of reproduction.
A 2020 study revealed that in fact there is a communication system between the EGG and s***m.
The egg has the ability to repel certain s***m with a molecular mechanism causing them to swim slower and also attract certain s***m by releasing a chemoattractant helping them move faster. Cervical mucus called L- Mucus helps filter out any low quality s***m…
In the study Fitzpatrick is quoted "Follicular fluid from one female was better at attracting s***m from one male, while follicular fluid from another female was better at attracting s***m from a different male…. This shows that interactions between human eggs and s***m depend on the specific identity of the women and men involved."
Once SHE makes her choice and the s***m begins to pe*****te the egg, the egg then releases a chemical response that causes all of the other s***m's heads to pop off. Yep, mass decapitation. ⠀
And to keep things in perspective, the male s***m is the smallest cell in the human body while the female egg is the largest.

P.S. this comment from the original post had me rolling: “There is sufficient population evidence to support that low quality s***m is not being repelled often enough”

I had to share this one again!

Hugs... lots of them ♡

4. Use affection while disciplining your child. As you talk to them about what they did wrong, put your hand on their shoulder and give them a hug at the end of the conversation to ensure them that, even if you are not pleased with their behavior, you still love them. If your children hit their sister or brother, hug them and explain how hugging....
