Using numerous examples from science textbooks and other scientific communications, Martin demonstrates how the role of the egg is portrayed as passive or negative, while the role of the sperm is portrayed as active, assertive, and heroic. Martin begins by explaining how the reproductive biology associated with (cis) women is viewed in scientific literature as wasteful and negative, which places her analysis in the context of a broader pattern of how reproductive systems are portrayed in anti- woman ways. Martin notes that these portrayals persist even when they are not scientifically well-supported, which suggests that these gender stereotypes are detrimental to scientific understanding. For example, Martin notes that while the egg is often portrayed as waiting passively without taking action, this portrayal is counter to the usual scientific convention of calling the protein member of a pair of binding molecules “the receptor” (496). Moreover, recent research has shown that “sperm and egg are mutually active partners” (Schatten and Schatten, qtd. in Martin 494). Martin concludes the essay with a section on the “Social Implications” of these results, as well as specific proposals for ways of reframing reproductive biology in a more accurate and scientifically productive way. Martin, a cultural anthropologist who writes often about cultural aspects of women’s health and views of women’s bodies, writes to show how science has been shaped by a “fairy tale” view of gender (486). Her stated purpose is to improve science and more broadly to take power away from stereotypes, as seen in her concluding statement that “by becoming aware of when we are projecting cultural imagery onto what we study, will improve our ability to investigate and understand nature. Waking up such metaphors, by becoming aware of their implications, will rob them of their power to naturalize our social conventions about gender”(501). Martin published the article in the journal Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society , a peer-reviewed journal focusing on interdisciplinary feminist

Martin’s anthropological background can be seen in how the article uses specific instances to explore broader questions about culture; the intended audience of feminists likely means that she assumes that her readers will already be aware of other scholarship showing that gender stereotypes can be harmful, and that cultural products can subtly or unintentionally reproduce gender stereotypes. Martin’s professional status as a well-known anthropologist, as well as the peer-reviewed journal’s reputation, suggest that this source is likely to be credible in terms of the factual information presented. The article enhances its credibility by using a large number of examples from multiple sources in order to support the argument that these gendered portrayals of egg and sperm are common and not just found in a couple of cases. The author also demonstrates credibility by drawing on a number of then-recent scientific studies to illustrate why these “fairy tale” portrayals are not accurate, and explaining each analysis thoroughly and clearly. For all of these reasons, this source is highly credible.
