Why are Women Freezing their Eggs?
Why are so many women opting for ovum cryogenics – Egg Freezing?
In 2016, the polite answer was that careerist women were so concerned with their education or success that they had to put family planning on hold until they’d achieved whatever trophy they were after. As the years dragged on, though, and more non-careerist women started freezing their eggs, women were compelled to tell the truth — they were freezing their eggs because they couldn’t find a worthy man to fertilize them.
I can remember when the other egg shoe finally dropped, and a slew of articles from the now-defunct Jezebel and Huntington Post tried to make women resorting to egg freezing a point of pride in world where men aint shit.
I was made aware of a trio of noteworthy stories, all of which I found dovetail nicely on topic. The first was about the new advent of artificial ovaries and how overjoyed our feminine-concerned social order was that ‘infertile‘ women might have a better chance of conception. The report’s subtitled perspective was, ostensibly, about how making a synthetic home for a woman’s egg-producing follicles could improve fertility after chemotherapy and help women with endometriosis conceive:
Women can become infertile after cancer treatment as the ovaries and the egg-making follicles they contain are vulnerable to chemotherapy, especially for leukaemias, brain cancers, and lymphomas. Removing and freezing ovarian tissue beforehand to reimplant after treatment can help women conceive, but there is a risk that this tissue will reintroduce hidden cancer cells.
Call me a cynic, but I think if a woman’s had a cancer serious enough to warrant chemotherapy, I’m not sure her capacity to conceive a child is her most pressing concern. A noble reasoning to be sure, but another paragraph down, and we get to the real reason for the excitement:
“It may be used by women who want to delay having babies or postpone menopause. “
The method could benefit other women, too. “When fully developed, this technology may be used in women who want to delay having babies for social reasons, or who want to postpone the menopause,” says Claus Andersen at the University Hospital of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ah yes, the Holy Grail of bioengineered gender equalism – a safe and effective means of perpetuating a woman’s fertility well beyond all reason and concern for healthy parenting would otherwise mandate. Nowhere is it mentioned, or are we to politely consider, that women’s real reasons for wanting a safe way to extend their fertility have less to do with ‘infertility’ concerns and a lot more to do with their difficulties in optimizing Hypergamy.
