[url]http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/14/us-tech-fertility-idUSKCN0I32KQ20141014[/url] [quote=Reuters]Apple Inc and Facebook Inc will help pay for female employees to freeze their eggs, signaling a willingness to spend on perks and benefits in a race to acquire top-flight talent. From January, Apple will pay both full- and part-time employees up to $20,000 for procedure and storage costs for female employees to freeze their eggs. "We continue to expand our benefits for women, with a new extended maternity leave policy, along with cryopreservation and egg storage as part of our extensive support for infertility treatments," Apple said in a statement. "We want to empower women at Apple to do the best work of their lives as they care for loved ones and raise their families."[/quote]

What about the men? What if I want to freeze a cup of baby batter? How sexist.

[QUOTE=ratman_122;46234369]What about the men? What if I want to freeze a cup of baby batter? How sexist.[/QUOTE] Only men constantly regenerate more sperm.

[QUOTE=Penultimate;46234393]Only men constantly regenerate more sperm.[/QUOTE] You make it sound like a Superpower.

[QUOTE=Penultimate;46234393]Only men constantly regenerate more sperm.[/QUOTE] Women totally don't drop one egg each month. But they don't generate new ones. That's almost like generating new ones constantly until a certain age.

[QUOTE=ratman_122;46234369]What about the men? What if I want to freeze a cup of baby batter? How sexist.[/QUOTE] Women have set number, men can basically make more until they die

[QUOTE=Penultimate;46234393]Only men constantly regenerate more sperm.[/QUOTE] unless certain circumstances are in place or they have a vestectomy

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;46234438]unless certain circumstances are in place or they have a vestectomy[/QUOTE] Depends on the Vestectomy, the cheaper ones "can" regrow.

[QUOTE=cartman300;46234434]Women totally don't have one egg each month.[/QUOTE] Do you know a thing about vaginas?

[QUOTE=Doozle;46234462]Do you know a thing about vaginas?[/QUOTE] It's uncommon but depending on the diet of the women some can actually miss without being pregnant, also menopause.

[QUOTE=Doozle;46234462]Do you know a thing about vaginas?[/QUOTE] Read the edits, i didn't express it fully.

[QUOTE=Penultimate;46234393]Only men constantly regenerate more sperm.[/QUOTE] [url=http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/27/scientists-say-ovary-stem-cells-can-make-new-human-eggs/]Women apparently do that too, except without the sperm.[/url] This calls for a female Captain Cream reboot.

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;46234476]It's uncommon but depending on the diet of the women some can actually miss without being pregnant, also menopause.[/QUOTE] There are ovarian cysts, too, which can cause someone to miss. But yeah, usually it's one-a-month. [editline]14th October 2014[/editline] I wonder which stance Captain Cream has on the civil war?

Well so long as the eggs aren't illegally sold on to a third-party, I see nothing wrong with this.

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;46234476]It's uncommon but depending on the diet of the women some can actually miss without being pregnant, also menopause.[/QUOTE] This reads like it was written by someone who knows about women, but doesn't know any women.

[QUOTE=Doozle;46234525]This reads like it was written by someone who knows about women, but doesn't know any women.[/QUOTE] It is possible to miss, just unlikely.

lots of people miss their period after being on the pill for so long

[QUOTE=ratman_122;46234369]What about the men? What if I want to freeze a cup of baby batter? How sexist.[/QUOTE] We're gonna have an argument because of a zinger again aren't we?

[QUOTE=ironman17;46234515]Well so long as the eggs aren't illegally sold on to a third-party, I see nothing wrong with this.[/QUOTE] They're actually going to hoard eggs, and create a mutant army of super nerds.

ITT: facepunch has never heard of menopause [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Meme Reply (again)" - rilez))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=BrainDeath;46235197]ITT: facepunch has never heard of menopause[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure most young Facepunchers know very little about sex or the human body of either genders, as this thread very well pointed out. For example: "You just cum in a vag until it happens."

[QUOTE=Doozle;46234525]This reads like it was written by someone who knows about women, but doesn't know any women.[/QUOTE] This reads like someone who doesn't know what uncommon or disorders are.

[QUOTE=BrainDeath;46235197]ITT: facepunch has never heard of menopause[/QUOTE] maybe their parents taught them abstinence only education

While that might unfortunately be the case, anybody with an Internet access has the opportunity to educate themselves on whatever topics they please. ie: sex education that America can't even fathom to properly educate to today's youth in school.

What eggs?

[QUOTE=rebel1324;46235855]What eggs?[/QUOTE] the stork comes with an egg and then a baby pops out didn't you know this?

You can probably learn 16 different languages free if you're smart enough. Ignorance isn't an absolute excuse

ah, I see. It's pretty confusing for me. Because there is so many 'egg' words that related with male testicles.
