I mean, the kids are neither in a ballsack nor the ovaries.
If you consider a fertilized egg a child, which you shouldn't, they would be in the uterus.
If it's inside an ovary, the mother's going to die.
You guys need some anatomy lessons. Women are born with all the oocytes (eggs) they will ever have. They don't make them on demand like dudes do sperm. So it is entirely accurate to say any children a woman will have are already in her ovaries, barring circumstances like surrogacy, adoption, etc.
I'm not saying that eggs are not inside the ovaries, I'm saying that eggs are not children.
I mean, sperm aren't children either.
Which is what I said in my post that uid0grid0 responded to, saying that I needed anatomy lessons.
Sperm is not a child.
An egg is not a child.
A fertilized egg is also not a child, but some people think it is.
Some people also don't take this anywhere that serious and y'all's conversation seems really silly. Nobody on Lemmy (within reason, I'm sure there are idiots here too) is going to seriously argue that either gamete is a child.
These types of conversations are the ones that make me question just how prevalent autism is on Lemmy. People engage in wordplay and don't literally mean what they say all the time yet these types of comments are 90% on posts like this.
The comment I originally replied to wasn't word play.
I think what's going on here, and what often does, is that people don't read a reply as a reply to a specific comment chain. They instead see it as a reply to the post itself or a stand alone comment.
"y'all's conversation". I'm referring to the whole comment chain happening in response to this post. Y'all are fucking silly.
The whole idea of "grandchildren are in my daughter's ovaries" is a joke not to be taken seriously by anyone with half a brain but this entire chain is treating it like people seriously think entire little babies are stored in ovaries or testes, AND THEN BEING MAD OVER IT. THATS THE SILLY PART.
And neither are fetuses. Birth turns a fetus into a child. His grandchildren don't exist yet.
