  Oooh, thanks, now I finally understand what this is about. Maybe it is a language/cultural difference or something, but the whole “sperm = child” thing never clicked for me. Isn’t, if anything, the egg more properly a stand-in for a future child? And even then, only if fertilised, of course.

  I dead-ass looked at this for almost a minute wondering if it’s maybe a pop culture reference to a TV show or movie I don’t know, where the pictured character actually eats children.

    Yes, thank you! Been muttering this under my breath for ages each time people say sperm=crotch goblins.

      It still works as a joke though…like when Bill Hicks would say that he has wiped entire nations off of his stomach with an old gym sock

    Now I am wondering what you meant when you said all moms have done it, because eating period doesn’t exactly sound any better haha. But yeah, it didn’t click for me either. I was pretty surely they didn’t mean eating their granddaughter’s pussy or actually children so what else could it be? But sperm make sense because of the pro life movement.
