Then why don't humans have a 24/7 365 fertility window. Other animals have it.
I don’t think there are any animal species, certainly no mammals, who have this trait.
But your argument surprisingly does check out, as human men (and all male apes) are in fact 24/7 365 fertile! Following your reasoning this explains that male sexuality is indeed all about reproduction/impregnation. But female sex is not (or only around a sixth as much). Which explains much about sexual customs and men/women.

The opposite, eating makes sense as it is desensitizing/training up against the plant defenses.

Regardless I am pretty pro-choice from a fairly radical bodily autonomy perspective.
Funny, from the same principle I believe the reverse: „Every child wants to be born“; the body of another human being is harmed (well, murdered) -> This is anathema.

Hank Green explaining/rambling through his favorite pictures from the Artemis 2 mission:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=oaXRREHVkHo
“Some of my favorite pictures are the ones that include the interior of the spacecraft that show the juxtaposition between the foreground of the interior of the capsule, the thing made by humans, that is very small, just a little submarine out in the ocean of everything, and then through that window taking up much less space, the little ball where everything is from.”

Wikipedia:
She recalled of these dinners:
I would say, "This is what I believe about I.Q. differences, I have 12 different studies that have been published over the years, here’s the journal that's put this stuff together, I believe that this is true, that race predicts I.Q. and that there were I.Q. differences in races." And they would come back with 150 more recent, more well researched studies and explain to me how statistics works and we would go back and forth until I would come to the end of that argument and I'd say, Yes that makes sense, that does not hold together and I'll remove that from my ideological toolbox but everything else is still there. And we did that over a year or two on one thing after another until I got to a point where I didn’t believe it anymore.[8]
In 2013, Black wrote a public statement to the Southern Poverty Law Center, publicly renouncing her views.

If it had taken place in a European country like Germany … he would have lost.
And as a German I say rightfully so.
We have something called Persönlichkeitsrechte, or literally “right of personality”, which encompass the right to personal honor, the right to one's name, or the right to one's own image. There doesn’t seem to be an English wiki article about the concept, only a German and French one, so I link the translation:
https://de-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Pers%C3%B6nlichkeitsrecht_(Deutschland)?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp
https://de-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Recht_am_eigenen_Bild?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp
The right to one's own image , or the right of publicity, is a specific aspect of the general right of personality . It states that every person has the fundamental right to decide whether and in what context images of them are published. In the Anglo-American legal system, the right to one's own image is far more liberally defined than in German law.
Afroman should have pixelated the cops faces. The state invaded his home, not individual agents. If a cop would have been ill or on vacation or whatever they would have been replaced by a different officer. Also while I sympathize with Afroman as a victim of the almighty Leviathan there is also a power imbalance between him as a rich celebrity who can direct millions of YouTube views vs an individual police officers.

Women have sons and brothers though. Shouldn’t they be invested into increasing the fitness of their male children?

Even anti-humanist treehuggers must be unhappy as the departing children consume/annihilate all of Earth in the end. Whales? Gone. Fellow apes? Gone. Plants? Gone. The simplest earth bacteria? It’s life force sucked away by greedy trance children devoid of any humanity. I found that really depressing as the end of creation. I hate-read the book and I hate that this disgust seared the plot into my brain.
Its only value is as an unintended metaphor for the destruction of the then coming boomer generation.

Therefore, Arjuna should kill his cousins and regain his kingdom, following his duty.
Maybe it is just a metaphor, but for my western brain that this is presented as virtuous/moral is very alien and even evil.
As he surveys the battlefield, he turns to Krishna, who is taking the form of his charioteer
Are we sure the charioteer was not the devil fanning the flames of war? He is quite known in another story for trying to seduce people with kingdoms.

Every simulated Mars mission has ended with the participants at each others throats before arrival to the planet.

No interpersonal conflicts were noted, nor were any situations that would require interrupting or delaying any aspect of the project.[34] The difficulties encountered during the performance of some complicated activities were overcome by the crew together.
Though they got lazy and slept longer.

And a lesbian Heated Rivalry tv series would be unthinkable (maybe as japanese anime?). The plot for a western tv series would need to be political/feminist with any male gaze avoided. The asshole-antagonists would be men who get their comeuppance. But the gays don't care to serve as fantasy for the female gaze as long as they can watch hot guys get naked too.

Shiro Ulv himself is now a trans woman
I googled Shiro and he/she is still a wolf. I think though there is emphasize on being a “female wolf”, more some platonic wolf essence, which technically means a transgender person could identify as a cisgender wolf.

From the Wiki link:
Story editor D.C. Fontana said she thought the Romulans were much more interesting than the Klingons, but the Klingons were chosen as the regular adversaries of the series because they did not need any special make-up like the pointed ears for the Romulans.

Cuban says he was around 26, so it was 1984 or 1985, and was thinking he was the king with being 1 million dollars rich. Gates had a net worth $350 million when he was thirty.
What if someone is taking unreasonable measures though?
Contraception is very safe and not difficult, but still there were 1.1 million abortions in the US last year (a third of births). That high a number is only possible to me if people are self-sabotaging their measures (“just the tip”).
