Its size suggesting that it contains so much more than the sperm, all the necessities for life except the sperms tiny load of DNA. The Egg is the source from which human life will spring forth. The position of the Egg above the sperm reinforces this idea of the Female over and above the male. The One who will Rule.
- The males follow the Female. The many males in pursuit of the single desirable Female. Not unlike the many men who pursue a beautiful Woman, competing for Her attention, fighting it out to be chosen as by Her to be Her male.
- We think of men as physically big and strong relative to Women but here we see that the very literal essence of manhood is in fact tiny, almost invisible. It is in fact the the very essence of Womanhood that has the size advantage.
- Notice that the sperm are coming out of the darkness and into the light around the Egg. The darkness and violence of the male-dominated past giving way to an enlightened Female future.
