The Chicken comment is actually a history joke - an ancient greek philosopher once tried to describe humans in the fewest words possible as "featherless biped", and competing philosopher Diogenes made fun of that by bursting into his lecture with a plucked chicken saying "Behold! A man."

Funnily enough, sperm are reproduced continuously throughout a man's life, just millions and millions, and they only last in the testes for a few weeks. So that "i carried the child my whole life before you did the last 9 months" is just pure malarky

[@jnharton]

In the department of "carrying around gametes", I think men and women are pretty much on a level playing field as far as carrying some around all the time. Nobody knows for sure exactly which egg + sperm will end up coming together to make a child, at least short of IVF. Pretty stupid comparison in any case.

[@alam5055]

​@@jnharton well, not really. Sperm cells, as the original comment says, are reproduced continuously. Meanwhile all the eggs are created in prenatal life. That's why when mother's age increases, the risk of genetic problems for the baby increases (because the eggs are older so the genetic material has a higher chance to be damaged), while the father's age doesn't have such a negative effect, as sperm is always produced fresh.

[@andreawinston8900]

@@jnhartongirls are born with all the eggs they will ever have. Literally from birth, so no it’s not comparable.

[@soundlessbee]

@@andreawinston8900 So one could argue that mothers of daughters even carry their grand children for a while, since the daughter's egg cells develop while she is in her mother's uterus. Men really don't do anything.

[@jnharton]

@@andreawinston8900 I took high school biology, thanks. The point was more that men are always carrying around some quantity of sperm cells at all times. It's not like they just manifest right before you go to have sex/masturbate. Just because girls have all their eggs from the start doesn't mean that they are all equally available at any time or that she has any direct control over which ones are released. Some of them might even carry mutations which could cause the resulting zygote to result in a non-viable offspring. And an egg only carries half the genetic information that ultimately constitutes a future child's DNA. So if you want to be nitpicky, there is no baby/child at all prior to conception making any notion of superiority absurd.

Learned incompetence example: A few years back, I worked with a highly paid colleague, job title "Chief engineer", in a testing company. Once he said that he couldn't figure out how to operate the washing machine he was supposed to be testing - we had the operating manual on hand and everything, and other times he would be expected to test complex laboratory and telecom equipment. When I confronted him with "Are you unable to read the manual? You're the Chief Engineer" - he said, in front of our boss, "Washing machines are 'women's work', LOL." After a few more instances of this, she fired him.

8:45 minor correction: it is not actually proven that eggs are all there since birth. In some species it has been shown that eggs can continue being created during early life or even later life. No such thing has been proven for humans yet, but it has also not been conclusively disproven. Menopause also doesn't have to be caused by them running out. It's a bit of an oversimplification but given that we're making fun of people for not knowing how bodies work we should try to be as all-encompassing as we can. 11:37 this is a reference to a meme! This one is not serious. In Ancient Greece, Plato was asked to define a man and he said a "featherless biped", so Diogenes ran in with a plucked chicken and said "behold, a man!" Well, you know, it's a legend. Who knows whether it actually happened.

[@skleedleplotchnu3713]

that paper (2008) has since been basically disproven--there have been a number of studies prompted by it, in none of which was found any evidence of oogenesis in adult human women.

[@fghsgh]

@@skleedleplotchnu3713 "No oogenesis in adults" is not the same as "born with all eggs already present". There are quite a few years between birth and adulthood (or even the onset of puberty) when it could still be happening. Has that also been researched?

[@spotteddragon2969]

People thought humans could produce eggs after birth due to a so called 'egg stem cell', this was data from around 2012. Many people have been unable to even replicate these data findings since then. A 2020 study did a full cell map of the human ovaries and has discovered no such cell existing. There is a full and very in depth article that details running through the process of trying to identify such cells on the Nature Communications website (Single-cell analysis of human ovarian cortex identifies distinct cell populations but no oogonial stem cells). I urge you to please do thorough research before posting about science and the human body as it is such a sensitive subject, and throwing out these comments without really citing anything just makes it more difficult for people ot actually know the whole truth. People don't have the patience to look into things and will take this as gospel then go on to tell others the same thing. No hate, just passion on my end for scientific truths.

[@blueismylove3128]

​​​@@fghsgh "No new egg cells are made during their lifetime. This has long been accepted as fact." Medically reviewed by Stacy A. Henigsman, DO - By Rhona Lewis - Updated on May 4, 2023 Your argument reminds me of the saying "you can't prove a negative". It's a lot more conclusive than you make it out to be, to the point where I'd classify your comment as misinformation. Also, I'm pretty sure it's widely known that menopause isn't necessarily caused by "running out of eggs" and more of running out of "quality" eggs, as both quantity and quality decrease with time (not to say running out of eggs isn't all a reason). This is why we still see women who have gone through menopause still able to get pregnant in extremely rare cases. Also, why as you get older not only is it harder to get and stay pregnant, but the baby has a higher chance of abnormalities because of egg quality. It is widely accepted as fact, as there have been many studies on this. Idk this comment feels a lot like "we havent technically proven that my bed sheets aren't blue!" "Well Fred, we can see the bed sheets are purple, so the natural conclusion is that they aren't blue". I'm not good at explaining what I mean so that's not totally accurate to have I feel, but it's close. Actually, it's like, current research indicates this to be true, so therefore we accept this as fact until proven otherwise. But this is true of most "facts" known to man. By this logic we technically haven't proved Earth has a core. We think it does because all current evidence points to this conclusion, but hey who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️, maybe someday we'll get down there and there won't be anything there. Also, the article you are referring to has been disproven as of 2023.

[@clarisaxpianist]

​@fghsgh current medical evidence suggests that humans born with ovaries have 1-2 million oocytes present at birth, which subsequently declines as the person ages. At puberty, on average there are around 300,000 remaining. There has been zero evidence of oogenesis in humans born with ovaries after birth. Could there be room for error there in that there is a period of time where oogenesis occurs again? Unlikely, but admittedly also not definitively no. However, it is still more correct to state what our current evidence supports, which is that humans born with ovaries are born with all of the oocytes they will have during their lifetime

Good job being there for them and yourself. As a cis woman who's absolutely hand enough of the blasted unnecessarily sexualised interaction nonsense, I've made it a thing to explicitly make these things a topic with men when I can.

And you can hear me angrily grumbling to myself when we hug and it just breaks them emotionally to experience "being human" and hell, am I mad at their peers and especially their damn male ancestors who failed them that atrociously, all while even now I'm surrounded by women desperately trying to fight for the internal lives of their sons against everything that our "by default sexistic" systems still teach them, the second they grow into teenagers. Sometimes even earlier.

[@KxNOxUTA]

@@kennyholten8837 Actually, in my very humble observation, this is just the crippling effect of sexism on men. We know by now that behaviour is always triggered by emotions (and sometimes then, in a second step, regulated via other instances, such as thinking or learned pattern stemming from morals to habits etc.). But sexism has lead to men mostly being taught an incredibly tiny set of bad coping skills ta best!! Aka it's not even processing skills but suppression ones. The number of men who have great emotional regulation skills and a lot of experience with perceiving and managing their emotions and thus their behaviours, are not only rare, but they are also often actively disregarded due to sexism :'3 (think like men catering to women's needs are automatically labelled "simp" without any discernment of their intentions). Sexism is the system that always affected men, women and in consequence also trans people and non-binary people. It's just that for men, in a sense, for a long time the benefits supposedly (! not actually true) outweighed the terrible price of it. Now that all other groups other than cis men have launched the process of healing and the process of sorting out the negative impacts of sexism in all areas, men can no longer avoid facing the negative impact of sexism on them. Because all the "mitigating" factors are slipping out of their hands. We're all busy with our own healing journeys and can no longer spare capacities to manage their mess for them. Particularly in the case of women, society often no longer enables a parent to be full time home-maker, childcare manager and the man's private emotional mitigator (more often that, than regulator, cause the later requires for them to be open enough for input, which a portion of them are!!! Even rarer: emotional management teacher). It has always been visible. Who hasn't yet heard "boys will be boys" and co.. But now, they are less able to avoid their bad outcomes and consequences to sexism. And that is tragic AND a good thing. It's an opportunity to stop being stuck in those miserable old patterns that require a LOT of energy and external factors, and to wake up to a more self-regulated life along-sides others, not at the enforced-cost of others or sacrifice of others. It's a symptom of healing. Going from chronic to active (gotta drain the puss before the wound can start healing). Heading towards more consensual and kind and mutually safe forms of human relationships AND societal systems.

I (sadly) know what the waffles and spaghetti are about. It's some ridiculous bioessentialist brain nonsense. Here we go: Men are like waffles because they compartmentalize information, and even have spaces in their minds that are completely empty. You can't change the subject in conversation and expect them to follow along. They'll be confused, because that subject is located in a different square of the waffle. Women are like spaghetti because everything is connected in their minds. That's why they never shut up, and why they're such a mystery to men. It's also why they berate their husbands for no real reason. No, I am not kidding. I read a book in the 90s about this that I found in my then church's library. Don't go there anymore!

[@KxNOxUTA]

LOL actually .... it is scientifically a bit of a thing. :'D Like, even physically there are such things for us. Starting from how our immune systems work differently (aka men get sick hard but fast, full system, to be back in defence mode as quickly as possible [heard of man colds yet? they're real]. Women have a more complex immune system that takes the potential presence of extra residents into account AND the necessity to attend to any moved out ex-tenants that still need feeding, while the current resident still needs growing :'>). We also know that men literally struggling to find objects in the house if they are not where they expected or have slightly changed appearance is a real thing, when women seem to frequently come in to find said objects literally right in front of them. Aka there IS some truth in there. But, it sure as hell does not translate to everything. Plus, the reality is, a lot of it is also an actual manner of training LOL Aka societal training for men and women tends to differ, thus, we might show gender specific patterns as to how we utilise our brains. But these things may not be solid in the sense of being ingrained due to different genders. In fact, interesting stuff is found when looking at trans people or homosexual people. :D What I'm saying is: They may have made valid observations that ring true in their social setting. AND that by no means sets it in stone. In fact, all generalized statements have in common, that they're highly likely to be VERY off once we zoom in on the "individual" scale. :3 So, maybe that book is an interesting read, if you approach it with the right expectation. I did not read it, mind you. But reading people's comments on it, that alone, has shown just how many options there are to perceiving that reading material LOL

I love that someone finally did bad men's anatomy, cause i want to write better and I...as an afab person...can write woman in general which makes me think i can write ab men as well. But im probably still wrong. I want to write men better as well. I want to write convincing characters, please

“Men don’t listen to music” Why do guys have AirPods or headphones on then? Do they just listen to white noise while working out in the gym? These people don’t make any sense 😭

No no no... ...They listen to podcasts 😈

[@electronics-girl]

@@PGOuma It's true; I haven't listened to any podcasts since I transitioned.

My husband (rest his soul) needed to feel loved. He used to fall asleep on my lap all the time. IT WAS SO ANNOYING! Lol but I miss him so that's a good memory.

8:53 You are correct, Jamie. People capable of creating it create new swimmers every day whereas people with working ovaries are born with all the eggs they will ever have. So, really, if we're going with OP's insane premise; "I carry 1.5Mil~ "babies" around for my entire life, you get new ones every day. We are not the same." 😂😅
