Remember when feminists pledged to fix wikipedia because it was "very masculine" and were having a "mass edit wikipedia day"? Look what I found in the otherwise completely scientific article about Fertilization

You know.. feminists...

Not everyone thinks of everything as a power struggle between men and women.

Sometimes a sperm inseminating an egg is just a fucking sperm inseminating a god damn egg.

Thanks for the insight into how your brains work.

Spikemaw · 2014-03-16T00:43:18+00:00

Can someone transcribe what was there? I've skimmed the article and haven't seen anything. I'm guessing it was edited out already.

SporkTornado · 2014-03-15T22:52:01+00:00

only a feminist could write something so poetic about sperm and try to pass it off as science.

2014-03-15T22:57:44+00:00

Holy shit that is pathetic.

Funcuz · 2014-03-15T23:43:24+00:00

My sperm will rape your egg ?

aussietoads · 2014-03-15T23:22:25+00:00

So the egg has agency. So what happened between being an egg with agency and a full blown adult feminist without agency. Oh yeah, the sperm must have hijacked the eggs agency. Silly me.

2014-03-15T22:53:46+00:00

It doesn't get any better than this! Wonderful!

gndn · 2014-03-15T22:53:06+00:00

An utterly irrelevant edit that adds nothing of value whatsoever to the article. Thanks, feminists.

MarkFluffalo · 2014-03-16T00:01:05+00:00

In one aspect they're very right - the laymen's understanding of sperm/egg interplay isn't 1/10th of what actually goes on, but the same can be said for anything involving cell biology and non scientists.

Feminism: protecting those poor zygotes from undue discrimination.

I can see the tumblr now: "DAE sperm rapes our flower eggs? God I hate my dad."

IS44 · 2014-03-16T00:15:07+00:00

Thank you for bringing a good laugh to my day, which sucked until I read this and fell into a fit of hysterical giggling.

reluctantreddituser · 2014-03-16T01:05:52+00:00

Is it just me or is that entire section predicated on the idea that an event doesn't occur until it is described. Seriously it sounds like an attempt to retroactively change the history (and thus present and future) of biology.

apathos_destroys · 2014-03-15T23:37:25+00:00

Yeah, sorry. If you think things will change based on the way you portray it, all you're doing is the same thing Christians have done to Christianity.

It would be interesting to see where the micro villi studies go, though I doubt it would change an egg from "floating damsel" (dafuk? ) to "egg warrior" (....Hah! )

DeltaForcePanda · 2014-03-16T00:46:02+00:00

Can someone point it out to me? I can't see what you all are talking about.

Scroll to the very bottom. The edit is going up and down very rapidly right now, so people are actively attempting to stop it from going up.

Your_Bacon_Counselor · 2014-03-15T23:15:05+00:00

Yo dog, I heard you like sperm-jacking. So I put a sperm-jacker in your sperm-jacker, so you can sperm-jack while you sperm-jack!

Meh. I tried.

edtastic · 2014-03-16T01:13:19+00:00

This:

Martin similarly commends that the damsel in distress passive egg waits for the active warrior sperm to torpedo his way through adverse environment of the vagina and awaken her. These, they tell, is the version that for many years scientists have been portraying. In his article, "The Aggressive Egg," Freedman describes the studies of researcher Emily Martin; this article tells a different view of the process of fertilization. The egg is revealed as a partner and active contributor to fertilization rather than the Sleeping Beauty of the tale. Freedman writes that Martin does not suggest that researchers have distorted the imagery

I really can't believe what I just read. It's like the world turned upside down and I entered some strange fairy tail with sperms, eggs, warriors, and damsels in distress. I never knew gametes could be so heroic and adventurous. Damn even what I just wrote could qualify as entry with standards this low.

RelevantDos · 2014-03-16T00:33:51+00:00

It should be edited now.

2014-03-16T02:11:20+00:00

Permanent link to that revision, always viewable even though removed from current version.

RobbenQC · 2014-03-16T02:35:42+00:00

Literally cellular rape.

arcainic · 2014-03-16T01:08:26+00:00

Reading that entry gave me cancer, thank you feminism.

lordslag · 2014-03-16T01:36:53+00:00

I'm glad others posted the edit below, because some sane soul fixed the article.

Guano loco. (Batshit crazy)

PolishHammerMK · 2014-03-16T01:54:23+00:00

What exactly am I looking at in this article? I am on mobile. Can anyone help?

2014-03-16T01:55:27+00:00

Am I...missing something here? Where in the article am I supposed to be looking at?

nathanpaulyoung · 2014-03-16T06:11:53+00:00

The section has been reverted. Here's a direct link to the old version.

giegerwasright · 2014-03-16T11:23:02+00:00

This, kiddies, is what we call "rationalisation". It's what stupid, weak, manipulative people do when they can't accept the parameters of reality.

coreclick · 2014-03-16T00:44:06+00:00

I'm not seeing anything wrong here. Can someone please type what was written or tell me exactly where to look?

EV000 · 2014-03-16T01:21:52+00:00

Even in this crazy edit, the sperm is still the activate agent because the sperm needs to travel to the egg and not vice versa....also are these feminist crazy o_0

DinoDonkeyDoodle · 2014-03-16T00:17:19+00:00

The end sentence is ok, but sort of wonky. The rest is just insane dribble.

DiscoPandaKungFu · 2014-03-16T03:27:14+00:00

I'm on mobile and it's not taking me directly to the issue, anyone have a screen shot or cliff notes of what is the issue?

saint2e · 2014-03-16T03:33:07+00:00

Thankfully the editors keep removing that section as it has no basis.

Guys if you keep removing it I can't send it to my friends and laugh about it :(

aaarrrggh · 2014-03-16T13:41:46+00:00

Guys, there's an edit war on this page now. I keep removing the section, but it keeps getting added back in. Can you guys help with this?

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2014-03-16T15:06:26+00:00

Has there ever been a legitimate field of study that was improved by the addition of feminist "scholars"?

Tastysalad101 · 2014-03-16T19:04:45+00:00

Made me laugh.

intensely_human · 2014-03-16T23:51:44+00:00

... what did you find?

Imnotmrabut · 2014-03-17T03:03:14+00:00

There should also be a sentence that describes how the egg is raped by the sperm as she did not consent to being fertilized. #Fertilisationisrape

Priceless!

shellshock3d · 2014-03-16T04:48:59+00:00

Hey guys I'm just coming over here to say that the edit you're talking about occured in December, 2013 while the feminist revisions were done in February, 2014.

Ellis_Dee_25 · 2014-03-16T03:32:26+00:00

Get that Crap off Wikipedia.
