my opinion:According to Germaine Greer, an Australian academic, journalist and feminist author of ‘The Female Eunuch’, legendary for her quotes (see at http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Greer,_Germaine) men are pointless when it comes to reproduction. ‘A society can survive with only one man, no society will survive a shortage of women’. Mrs. Greer also has some ideas about spermatogenesis: ‘Because you are a man, you do something as colossally stupid as figuring out a way to generate sperm from cells’.
Probably with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on her mind, she even argued: ‘If you are fool enough to produce 40 million sperm at each ejaculation you’d have to be aware that all but one or two of you are surplus to requirements’. And for the researchers interested in male infertility and spermatogenesis she also has an important message: ‘With the whole world bathed in gadzillions of dying sperm, a bunch of men have wasted valuable research funding in figuring out a very costly way to whip up a few dozen more’.
