To all those men and women who believe in gender equality, it’s time to take equality to bed. In celebration of the female orgasm.
Thus, just like our other mammalian cousins, our egg maturation and subsequent ovulation (at least at the beginning phases of evolution) was controlled by our male counterparts and their sexual prowess. Of course, thank god…we were not rabbits, lest the mere presence of the male would trigger our egg release. (Darn…I am sure that’s got to be a patriarchal wet dream!)
Of course, as scientists discovered only recently, this mammalian male induced ovulation actually evolved first and it was much later when—thankfully!—biology decided to take a detour and managed to free the woman (and her ovarian cycle) from the shackles of sex. In other words, women no longer needed a man and/or sexual activity to release an egg. She, in fact, for all intents and purposes, became a cyclical and spontaneous egg-producing/releasing reproductive machine (an evolutionary leap that sanitary napkin companies have much to be thankful for!).
