    on one hand it would be awesome if the govt just froze every womans eggs at like 18 years old, but then what would stop them from secretly building a prisoner/army/slave etc population?

      Probably the lack of living women to implant the fertilised eggs into.

      Also, egg donation is a pretty terrible process to go through, that’s why you get so much money for donating eggs in the first place. It involves surgery and can permanently affect your fertility if something goes wrong. it would not be “awesome if the govt just froze every womans eggs at like 18 years old”

        We’re not far off from artificial wombs, though. In principle, once they get invented, governments and rich people will start doing this, and extremely misogynistic countries will start killing off women since they would no longer be needed to make babies.

            Robot Stepford wives are also very close to becoming reality. Women could very well be replaced.

            It’s so heinous to think about – the fact that it’s possible for a country to forcibly cut a woman open and suck out her egg cells against her will is such B-level horror movie shit and yet it’s so plausible. It’s nauseating. Why even have women if all they’re going to be is subjugated with no real chance to have any agency? Why would evolution favor such an evil situation?
