In case you missed it, men's sperm has been called their "seed" since time immemorial. It has always been part and parcel of disconnecting women from their autonomy, making them less than fully actualized human beings. It gives value to the man's interests in preserving his sperm over the vessel in which he places it – i.e., the womb. Language has been used as long as men have been speaking to "put women in their place."

Calling sperm "seed" has been a euphemism for sperm since people figured out the basics of how women get pregnant. It probably goes to when humankind became farmers. Sperm was called a man's seed before humans even had a glimmer of an idea that women produced eggs in the reproductive process.

In the Torah, women were not were not even believed to contribute to the pregnancy. Their wombs were seen as "the soil" in which men sowed their seed. A woman nourished the man's seed within her womb, but was thought to have no part in what the seed might become.

Moreover, in scientific terms, it is the woman's egg that requires fertilizing by the sperm.
