The Chicken, the Egg… and Why Men Were Never First

The chicken came first. The egg followed. Same with women and men.

For as long as people have been asking questions, there’s been that one riddle: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It’s a question so old it’s practically a cliché. Philosophers used it to argue about beginnings. Kids used it to outwit each other on the playground. Adults used it for late-night debates when nobody had anything better to do.

But now? Science has cracked it. And the answer is way bigger than birds. It’s about women, men, and who truly came first in the story of life.

Here’s what researchers found: to make an egg, you need a special something — not magic, but a unique ingredient that only exists inside the female chicken. Without her body, there’s no egg. Without her biology, there’s no shell. No life. No possibility.

Which means evolution didn’t start with an egg floating around, waiting for a chicken to hatch. Evolution had to create the hen first. She carried the key inside her. She laid the foundation. Only then could the egg follow.

And doesn’t that sound familiar?

Because when we stop talking about chickens and start talking about people, the story is exactly the same. Every single human begins inside a woman. Life doesn’t spark in a vacuum; it begins in her womb. She carries us, protects us, feeds us, shapes us. Long before men enter the picture, women are already there, building the beginning.

Men may contribute, but the blueprint? The spark? The system? It’s female. Always female.

Think about it: for all our human advancements — skyscrapers, rockets, the internet — the one thing that hasn’t changed is how life starts. Every emperor, every revolutionary, every genius, every ordinary soul — all began in the body of a woman. The world may worship kings, but even kings were carried by queens.

The chicken-and-egg debate was never really about chickens. It was a mirror held up to the mystery of beginnings. And now we see the reflection clearly:

🐔 The chicken came before the egg.
👩 The woman came before the man.
🌍 The Mother came before everything.

This is more than biology. It’s a story written into the universe. The first nurturer. The first protector. The first creator.

And yet, for centuries, patriarchy has twisted the narrative. Myths have told us that men were made first. History books have been written to center men as origin, leader, hero. But nature herself tells a different story — one where women are the starting point, the spark, the reason we’re here.

So let’s stop acting like it’s even up for debate. She came first. She comes first. She always will.

Science may have used chickens to prove it, but the lesson stretches far beyond the barnyard. Women are not the afterthought of creation. They are the beginning. They are the vessel. They are the constant.

So the next time someone smirks and says, “But which came first?” you can laugh, lean in, and drop the ultimate truth bomb:

“Sweetheart, she did. Always has. Always will.”
