The Powerful Egg
The egg is not an inferior part of biology, it is an amazing reproductive tool. While the males reproductive system makes and wastes over 100 million sperm a day, the females reproductive system is born with what it needs and just dispenses over time what it doesn't use. Also the women's reproductive system doesn't "waste" away over time it ages and matures. The female reproductive system produces one mature ova every month as needed and to counter this the male reproductive system creates thousands if not millions of sperm to reach this.
