    Emily Martin's article analyzes how scientific understandings of human reproduction have constructed gender roles that portray women's biological functions as passive and men's as active. The stereotypical narrative that presents the egg as waiting to be fertilized by the sperm mirrors broader societal assumptions that women are passive and men are active.
