If I read anything about human reproduction, I remember "The Egg and the Sperm: How science has constructed a romance based on stereotypical male-female roles" by Emily Martin. https://web.stanford.edu/~eckert/PDF/Martin1991.pdf https://web.stanford.edu/~eckert/PDF/Martin1991.pdf one quote in relationship to the comparison between ovulation and spermatogenesis: "By extolling the female cycle as a productive enterprise, menstruation must necessarily be viewed as a failure."
