I guess she must think that the womb is a sort of Schrodinger’s box, where the baby is neither male nor female until someone looks at it, at which point the probability cloud collapses into a reality?
If that is the case, then how would she avoid gaining any knowledge of the child’s genitalia? She has to change diapers, after all. And how will she keep the child from discovering which set of genitalia he or she has and thereby collapsing the probability cloud him/herself?
I’m all for keeping the gender of the baby a mystery all through pregnancy. It’s nice to have a little surprise waiting after all that labor. But not knowing the gender doesn’t mean there isn’t one!
Each time “gender” appears in your post, it should be replaced with “sex.”
I read the article at “Slate”; the author’s a barking moonbat.
