Manasvi Singh week 1

The Egg And The Sperm’s author Emily Martin makes an argument about how the fundamentals in different academic and research books about the female biological processes have been seen down upon using the words- “debris”, “necrosis”, “ceasing," "dying', "losing," "denuding," "expelling” with respect the male counterparts which are surprisingly appreciated for something which is completely normal and seen as some heroic move on the female reproductive system. Spermatogenesis and menstruation are not analogs, but ovulation and spermatogenesis are; but still, ovulation doesn’t match up to the same level is a common but unseen observation made by the author which parallels to a common notion about how hard a woman tries, she would never be able to match up to a man’s level. These common beliefs are also supported by different members of the social life around a child since its birth including its parents. Gender roles are so much so defined according to the author Emily W. Kane in “The Gender Gap” the even when someone as close as a parent to a child tries to eliminate it, they are incompetent at some point. I, being a 19-year-old girl realized how I was expected to come home early compared to my other male friends and since then it has been difficult but really satisfactory to somewhat eliminate it. These gender roles are difficult to destroy but even more when we have to identify which can be understood by reading the article.
