      Biology class failed you.

      You’re born with all eggs you’ll ever have. That’s why conservatives keep talking about the biological clock so much.

        Biology class failed you.

        You just attempted to correct someone who was right by using less precise, less scientific language. Which is also what conservatives do when they want to confuse an issue like this one. I suggest you read aboutOogenesis.

        The part about intention is definitely right, though. No new-born girl has the intention of “holding eggs”, regardless of whether or not we add the stipulation that this is obviously not going to be about bird eggs.

        You have all of the Primary Oocytes you’ll ever have, you have none of the Ovum until after Puberty. It’s never been demonstrated that reproduction is possible with only a Primary Oocyte, AFAIK.
