Which are which
Isn’t this fairly disprove by science now and sperm fertilising an egg is now seen as more of a group effort?
Yes, they all boink the shell until it’s boinked enough for one of them to break through. Than that one thanks his mates by shutting and locking the door and leaving them out there to die.
This is a dumb meme that is only based on sexist assumptions of gender roles. And it sure isn’t a science meme.
I’ll bite: How is this related to gender?
Isn’t this picture of ‘male’ sperms violently competing with each other while ‘female’ oocytes peacefully cooperating anything but a projection of gender expectations?
… I disagree. It is funny due to the contrast in “behaviour” (these are cells, not animals) which is shown via the contrasting images (don’t worry, I’m not going to mansplain the term “meme” ). I daresay that if you can easily turn the joke around, it doesn’t rely on stereotypes. Since this is the case (make a meme about asymmetric division in oocytogenesis compared to equal division in spermatogenesis) it’s simply funny. I suggest more calm.
What.
I figured a picture of a marathon vs people on a queue
Shit, that would have been better.
Explains how my X sperm got an SRY gene on it.
