Equal Partnership

I see the egg and the sperm as a united team.  Without the other, neither would have a purpose. Within nature everything strives to find a good balance in life. The egg may be passive but it is very strong.  It does not simply let all the sperm infiltrate its walls. There are several sperm fighting to get the egg but only the strongest will be able to attach.  Saying the sperm is superior is like saying that the bee is more important than the flower. Without the flower the bee would never get fed and in return without the bee the flower would never get pollinated.
