I started thinking about reproduction and, more specifically, about how sperm is the "male" ones and the ovum is the "female." Biologically, what happens during sexual reproduction is that one side *gives* and the other side, another member of the same species, *receives.* this is what distinguishes "the two sexes"
asexual and hermaphroditic reproduction and everything is of course very interesting but this act of giving and receiving, and the many rituals and behaviors that have arised for it are interesting as well. especially in what it can say about humans and human society.
for example, much of animal society is structured around Mother. bees and termites and shi have a queen, their mother, and all the other females are sterile workers while the males are... uhh whatever the fuck they do. Don't they like fuck once and then die, and the queen just holds onto the sperm for the whole life of the colony?
well whatever, what I'm trying to get at here is that there is a difference and some manner of Design, biologically, between "the two sexes." the question then becomes what the difference is, the physical difference which exist as a result, and how society is, could, and should be structured with this in mind. to complicate matters further, there's identity, gender, and how it aligns and relates, transgenderism and rejecting society's superimposed idea of who you are and who you should be in relation to sex. don't even get me started on intersexuality
we're obviously creatures governed by more than just our biology, but it is the foundation upon which we sit. we'd be dead without it, you know. so what can it tell us about Us? How does our biology relate to what society currently looks like?
just some half-baked thoughts. it's very complicated and most of it is just. culture I think. I'll leave the thinking to the smarter women -
