Same here

Isn't, if anything, the egg more properly a stand-in for a future child?

Yes, thank you! Been muttering this under my breath for ages each time people say sperm=crotch goblins.

Now I am wondering what you meant when you said all moms have done it, because eating period doesn’t exactly sound any better haha. But yeah, it didn’t click for me either. I was pretty surely they didn’t mean eating their granddaughter’s pussy or actually children so what else could it be? But sperm make sense because of the pro life movement.

Edit: ignore the first part, I thought you were op lol
