Female (♀) is the sex of an organism, or a part of an organism, which produces non-mobile ova (egg cells).
The ova are defined as the larger gametes in a heterogamous reproduction system, while the smaller, usually motile gamete, the spermatozoon, is produced by the male. A female individual cannot reproduce sexually without access to the gametes of a male (an exception is parthenogenesis). Some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
There is no single genetic mechanism behind sex differences in different species and the existence of two sexes seems to have evolved multiple times independently in different evolutionary lineages[citation needed]. Patterns of sexual reproduction include
Other than the defining difference in the type of gamete produced, differences between males and females in one lineage cannot always be predicted by differences in another. The concept is not limited to animals; egg cells are produced by chytrids, diatoms, water moulds and land plants, among others. In land plants, female and male designate not only the egg- and sperm-producing organisms and structures, but also the structures of the sporophytes that give rise to male and female plants.

Plot: In WISH, the tension between the male and the female can be interpreted as sexual, the forming of a bond, a celebration. A hope for the future, as the title suggests, WISH, may also imply, a longing for a new beginning, a re-birth, or perhaps, even a birth, which would all insinuate continuity in the cycle of life. The materials used inside the colliding vessels, the automobiles, are; milk, butter, flour, eggs, chocolate frosting, candles, and cake sprinkles.

Plot: Everything After Is Measured By Now explores an ambiguous line between the present and the possible future in order to reflect on contemporary society's relation to collapse. Eschewing straightforward narrative, the film follows separate narrative threads that revolve around this ambiguity in an attempt to question whether societal collapse is a possible event in the near future, or an event society is already situated within.
