Fertility

"Shooting blanks" is a joke about a man's inability to farther a child.

Yet statistics and frank common sense about the whole reproduction process, show that the majority of infertility cases are actually caused primarily by female or combined female and male complications, with pure male infertility issues taking a reliative back seat.

Add to this an increasing trend of older couples, within which women's fetility decreases with age comparitively much faster than that of a man's. The question has to be asked...

Where are all the jokes about women who are incapable of bearing a child?

Why indeed, given reason, do men take the brunt of infertility downcasting in an apparant modernday educated soceity?
