Ah, but women don't produce eggs. Embryos that will become women produce eggs. And while men do produce sperm, the primary function is not their production, but their delivery to an egg. They are merely the controller and gatekeeper of eggs, and the deliverer to them.
I just confirmed this. From a fertility treatment center:
The peak number of eggs a woman ever has takes place at about 20 weeks of gestation (before they are born and still inside their mother’s womb). At this point, they have roughly 6-8 million eggs. No new eggs will ever be made from this point on.
Thanx. This is one more thing I learned from this discussion group.

So it would be the eggmaster and the seedbringer.
Why am I now picturing Ghostbusters?
Because these are the fevered machinations of a stay puft.
Say what?
Ovaries produce eggs, that when fertilized by sperm, become women or men eventually..
A girl baby is born with all the eggs she will ever have.
They ripen in the ovaries one by one. However eggs are produced by the fetus in the womb.
