Can ovaries make new eggs? There's an old story scientists tell about human ovaries: that they are ticking clocks that only lose eggs, never gain them. Now that story might be changing, opening the door to new treatments for infertility and menopause.

This video is actually short on the science sources (the 2014 paper being the single referenced source that revisits Emily Martin’s 1991 paper) besides the two individuals interviewed. All you’ve done is interviewed one pair of paper authors. Did you talk to more than the paper authors or authors of the critiqued texts? Approach problems with the textbooks rather than just citing the one or just approach it with an 8-minute subjective snippet? Viewers would have been better informed without the intro. Perhaps it should have actually been shorter there. Context to your point seemed lopsided. This video seems... off. Give it the academic rigor such a claim deserves.
@@LavenderHV I’d like to think that the scientific details were left out because to a 10th grader they aren’t going to be useful. Misogyny isn’t the reason. The man basically does 1% of the work required for creating a child anyways, so don’t think that by shortening the story of how the egg is fertilized is misogynistic.
Very surprised this video completely ignored the primordial follicle pool and follicle selection in which primitive eggs are induced to grow and then begin to actively produce hormones to try and inhibit each other until only one survives to ovulation. Seems like one of the most active and selective parts of fertilisation.
In Australia, you’ll learn the menstrual cycle in a lot of detail and a little less about the mechanism of fertilisation, but it’s definitely not skewed.
@Andree De haan, and ya I'm confused about the other reproduction methods too. I just thought I am not aware of those method, since I'm not much aware of this field.
i think the reason biology textbooks don’t go into this much detail is because the way it’s explained in textbooks is easier to understand for people just learning about the subject. everything dosent need to have an agenda
This didn't go into any detail at all haha. They just picked what to say to make their point. Most of it is undoubtedly correct tho, the issue is there's a bunch of stuff they didn't go into that would have somewhat dampened their message
THIS is the comment I've been looking for! I'm currently in medical school and I found it confusing on what this video was actually for. The video was good on clarifying missing info on the aspects of fertilization but that's usually understandable since you're not supposed to force complex information on lower grade education. I don't think there was anything wrong to be honest, even the whole disclaimer thing felt forced
Little sad that this video treats the public like they don’t know anything/much but I learned this in 5th grade lol. It’s all about how much a person wants to retain.
Or.. if you went to a private school that doesn’t care about anything other than academics and never teaches you anything about anything and calls it: The Parents Job

funny, but it's sadly true.... they held the most power for the longest and collectively systematically subjugate oppress and abuse every other group. It's about dismantling it, and not ignoring the group responsible - not hating white men. But yes, more can be done to make clear that hate mongering against white men isn't the goal or solution.
This is almost exactly how I was taught about fertilization and beginning of human embryo in my school. I guess here in Europe we have higher standards than in the USA.
Ah yes, another European taking their unique experience, mistaking it for a general European experience and then comparing it to a misinterpretation of a general American experience.
Why shouldn't women be upset about being erased from a story they play such a vital role in? And who are you to tell women what they should and shouldn't feel? You have no business dictating what others are upset by
I'm a doctor and I'm MIND BLOWN BY THIS. Technically I knew all this information but still its so true that the books all portray it in a certain way! Love this video!
That is literally more or less exactly the story we were all taught. The only extra I gained from this was realising how desperate VOX are to twist everything to claim there's sexism where there isn't
Worse is people like you that do not see it therefore conclude that it doesn't exist. You're part of the problem. I was taught the "wrong" version, I learned a lot with this video. Just because you didn't doesn't mean there isn't others that wont.
The real question I would be asking is, “why is there two Fallopian tubes when you can just have one? Why have two testicals when you can just have one big ball?”
I'm not sure if this is why but I know Hitler only had one ball. I think he was born like that. I'm probably making a wild guess but it might have to do with the fact that if you lose one, you still have a backup one
Unless your going to study this in further info and use it for a job. The basic story tells you what you need to know and no more. Making a feminist issue out of the reproduction story seems a little petty to me.
Why are you so mad, why should people not learn how the reality of the fertilization process? You can cry about feminism all you want, but why would you want schools to only teach half a story and not even tell it correctly??
Me too. European here. Also… the disclamer felt unnecessary, unless this is oriented to children, since I assume people would understand the type of reproduction it’s talking about.
Vox, are you OK? Because if you want to spin off a science channel, you can just do that. Though I can't promise you'll be able to compete with channels like Scishow.
I'm from South America, most of this is taught in elementary school (maybe those sonar waves are missing). It's probably the same in the US. Am i missing something?
Watching this video, I'm just struck by how many people didn't know how this worked. Makes me realize I had an uncommonly scientifically sound teaching :o
haha... spot on! It's a ridiculous parody of what someone who wants to accuse the left of being psychos would claim channels like Vox put out, and a leftie would probably deny vehemently that anything like this exists.. but then they'll see the video and find a way to start convincing themselves that Biology textbooks are problematic.. They'll probably request to go and read their kids' books and then post to social media to complain about the sheer sexism of biology books written by 'white men'.
Who are you to police women having feelings about being erased from biology textbooks? There's a million actually useful, creative things you could be doing with your life instead, try doing one of them for a change
@@vacafuega There's a million other ACTUAL problems women have to face in today's society, try bringing those issues into the limelight instead of making up problems.
I had been thinking of unsubscribing because the container is just not very interesting to me anymore. This video made it easy to me to make my decision . Thanks for, it was nice while it lasted.
Why is it bad that the egg plays a relatively passive role? This doesn't have to be a damsel in distress situation. If the egg wants to chill, LET IT CHILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI, minus the calcium boost at the very end, I was aware of all of this. I am American Midwest. Edit: I ran into this comment of mine again and while I can say I definitely did know these things I am definitely not so sure I had all this info at the time I should have had it
And I'm not actively researching this info. I learned biology in HS and College, gen eds. Like, yes, there is dramatically oversimplified language and I can agree with that, but I feel the thesis of this video is too black and white.
Same for me on all accounts. It seems like this is not an education problem, but a problem with whether these people cared enough when they learned in order to retain the information.
I was taught this in middle school as an American, the writers either didn't pay attention in school or have just forgotten the information. Most schools don't even use textbooks anymore.
"An awesome two player adventure." While getting my degree in biology, I never heard it described in quite that way. 😂😂😂 Then again my gen bio and genetics professor (who were both women) never railed against the patriarchy either, so I guess I'm learning a lot of new things today.

It's all they care about.
Not his knowledge and intelligence, nor his accomplishments, just his skin. Less than a decade ago she would be openly and rightfully declared racist and ignored. But not in the racist world of today.
Thanks.
funny, but it's sadly true.... they held the most power for the longest and collectively systematically subjugate oppress and abuse every other group. It's about dismantling it, and not ignoring the group responsible - not hating white men. But yes, more can be done to make clear that hate mongering against white men isn't the goal or solution.
This is almost exactly how I was taught about fertilization and beginning of human embryo in my school. I guess here in Europe we have higher standards than in the USA.
Some schools
yeah europeans are so smart thats why you losers cry when you dont get approved for a green card to study/live in the U.S.
@@kkuo13 its not 1999 anymore boy, Europe is far better place to live now than USA.
Ah yes, another European taking their unique experience, mistaking it for a general European experience and then comparing it to a misinterpretation of a general American experience.
@@sypialnia_studio Was it worse in 1999?
Tbf you didnt offer much of a different story you just talked about the specifics.
Because it's the only independently moving part making it feel like it has its own life, while eggs feel more like an organ like a liver
Makes sense
Oh no it's much more complex dude! The eggs also goes through a great deal
@jay frost The ones that believe it to be unnecessary are boys/men.
@@SpringLeafWolf if men are 99% of the population then yes.
@@SpringLeafWolf sexism much. How can you assume that
This guy gives off “where my hug at?” Vibes
Man, of the things to be upset by, this probably isn't a priority
Why shouldn't women be upset about being erased from a story they play such a vital role in? And who are you to tell women what they should and shouldn't feel? You have no business dictating what others are upset by
@@vacafuega We're literally born from women, who's exactly being erased?
@@vacafuega You need some serious help
People should know basic biology
@@vacafuega my dude they grow the baby in their body what's more vital than that
Hahahahahahah Vox is slowly turning into BuzzFeed
They blew half the budget on those biology books
I'm a doctor and I'm MIND BLOWN BY THIS. Technically I knew all this information but still its so true that the books all portray it in a certain way! Love this video!
That is literally more or less exactly the story we were all taught. The only extra I gained from this was realising how desperate VOX are to twist everything to claim there's sexism where there isn't
Worse is people like you that do not see it therefore conclude that it doesn't exist. You're part of the problem.
I was taught the "wrong" version, I learned a lot with this video. Just because you didn't doesn't mean there isn't others that wont.
i grew up in the us and I literally learned everything explained in this video,
I didnt
@@silentj624 now you do. congratulations
@@silentj624 Congrats I learned the same thing in Africa. And before I knew that I already had the common sense that it takes 2 two tango
Good for you, no one asked
America really do be living in the Middle Ages when it comes to education
It’s sexist so I guess not too far off
and yet somehow we still winning 😁
At this point, Vox is just a joke
True, although anything not related to politics is still great though
@@pombenenge But with vox, everything that isn't politics is "systemic oppression and" "white supremecy"
The real question I would be asking is, “why is there two Fallopian tubes when you can just have one? Why have two testicals when you can just have one big ball?”
Question of the century
@@unrulyrhyme7139 question of the eon
I'm not sure if this is why but I know Hitler only had one ball. I think he was born like that. I'm probably making a wild guess but it might have to do with the fact that if you lose one, you still have a backup one
@@Ricky911_ you can’t live life without risks 💀 one nut, take it or leave it.
well we also have two kidneys and two lungs and two halves of the brain and stuff... I don’t totally know the answer to any of these lol
Notice how neither of them are actual scientists
LOL
'gendered language' in a biology textbook in a chapter on reproduction?
Color me shocked.
Are we just literally looking for things to be angry at?
Unless your going to study this in further info and use it for a job. The basic story tells you what you need to know and no more. Making a feminist issue out of the reproduction story seems a little petty to me.
Why are you so mad, why should people not learn how the reality of the fertilization process? You can cry about feminism all you want, but why would you want schools to only teach half a story and not even tell it correctly??
@@xxxfairycorpsexxx7592 You are like that kid that found your school is not perfect and now thinks the world is out there to oppress you.
@@scientia.veritas bruh i just don't want schools to lie to students and teach them wrong information lol
Definitely didn’t learn a lot of this stuff
You can do better there were no solid points in the video
Ok im weirded out. Is this an american thing or something?. Cuz everything he said is exactly how i learned reproduction at school.
YES
Me too. European here. Also… the disclamer felt unnecessary, unless this is oriented to children, since I assume people would understand the type of reproduction it’s talking about.
Vox, are you OK?
Because if you want to spin off a science channel, you can just do that.
Though I can't promise you'll be able to compete with channels like Scishow.
what has this channel become
I'm from South America, most of this is taught in elementary school (maybe those sonar waves are missing). It's probably the same in the US.
Am i missing something?
I think it was just an informative video with some extra social issues thrown in
(they were chemical signals btw, not sonar)
@@8ball708 no social issues. Just a bunch of attention seeking feminists
Well based on the study it seems most American biology text books don't describe the fertilization process as it really is
@@1eV you are weak though. Always make excuses.
Watching this video, I'm just struck by how many people didn't know how this worked. Makes me realize I had an uncommonly scientifically sound teaching :o
This channel is the left equivalent of prager university
haha... spot on!
It's a ridiculous parody of what someone who wants to accuse the left of being psychos would claim channels like Vox put out, and a leftie would probably deny vehemently that anything like this exists.. but then they'll see the video and find a way to start convincing themselves that Biology textbooks are problematic..
They'll probably request to go and read their kids' books and then post to social media to complain about the sheer sexism of biology books written by 'white men'.

theres something wrong with my brain when i click on that title
Come on…. this video is raising an issue that simply isn’t real…
uh the title isn't accurate, you explained how fertilization worked and then said "men bad"
Just like mother got all the credit in childcare
Really strange combination of interesting information and eye-rolling over-sensitivity
Who are you to police women having feelings about being erased from biology textbooks? There's a million actually useful, creative things you could be doing with your life instead, try doing one of them for a change
@@vacafuega There's a million other ACTUAL problems women have to face in today's society, try bringing those issues into the limelight instead of making up problems.
I honestly think that vox might be reading into things a bit much here.
Vox, just start up Vox Borders again.
seriously
nah won't be the same without Johnny Harris
Vox Borders was one the best things on UA-cam. Now you get this..
We need Borders
They need to find a border that is sexist, racist and transphobic.
Don't worry though... they will.

@Tardis_Kia yes it does :)
@Tardis_Kia kinda funny how you think that, Patriachy still has its effect on us tho just saying

I had been thinking of unsubscribing because the container is just not very interesting to me anymore. This video made it easy to me to make my decision . Thanks for, it was nice while it lasted.
good choice dude. Hope more people run away from Vox
Why is it bad that the egg plays a relatively passive role? This doesn't have to be a damsel in distress situation.
If the egg wants to chill, LET IT CHILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because it doesn't actually play a passive role? So saying that it does is a lie by omission. Someone didn't watch the video properly :)
FYI, minus the calcium boost at the very end, I was aware of all of this. I am American Midwest.
Edit: I ran into this comment of mine again and while I can say I definitely did know these things I am definitely not so sure I had all this info at the time I should have had it
And I'm not actively researching this info. I learned biology in HS and College, gen eds.
Like, yes, there is dramatically oversimplified language and I can agree with that, but I feel the thesis of this video is too black and white.
Congratulations a lot of people dont
Same for me on all accounts. It seems like this is not an education problem, but a problem with whether these people cared enough when they learned in order to retain the information.
This is called looking for problems where there aren't any.
Are you guys that low on ideas these days?
I was taught this in middle school as an American, the writers either didn't pay attention in school or have just forgotten the information. Most schools don't even use textbooks anymore.
I really like vox but this video is so bad and really makes me understand why so many people hate this channel
This is the most Vox title I’ve ever seen.
Next up

*Patriarchal
And revealing flaws about where we've come from and how to fix it is bad because....
"An awesome two player adventure." While getting my degree in biology, I never heard it described in quite that way. 😂😂😂 Then again my gen bio and genetics professor (who were both women) never railed against the patriarchy either, so I guess I'm learning a lot of new things today.
... Biology class already taught me this
Who on earth believes fertilisation is sexist?! Behave
Does it really favor men to say that their body parts are doing all the work?
That's like saying that pregnancy is beneficial to women.
Agreed
