Sperm donation banks have a minimum height requirement and often require a college education.
On the other hand, egg donor clinics literally beg women to sign up to be a donor, and pay them much more generously, which is unreasonable considering the lack of selectivity involved in the process.
REQUIRING A BMI RANGE FROM EGG DONORS IS INSULTING, BUT MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR MEN APPARENTLY ISN'T. And male height is literally judging a donor's physical appearance and does not negatively impact offspring aside from appearance.
LET THAT SOAK IN.
IT'S NOT 80/20, IT'S 95/5 JFLIn fact, suitable sperm donors are a rare breed. On average, only about 5% of all applicants meet the requirements to donate.

When a young woman decides to become an egg donor, she must meet a strict list of egg donor requirements to apply. Most of these requirements are expected: age between 19 and 31, good physical and mental health. But one requirement causes a lot of confusion among potential egg donors: BMI (body mass index) in the range of 18-26.
At first glance, requiring a certain BMI might seem biased or even insulting, as if it’s about judging a donor’s physical appearance. But this is not the case when it comes to donating eggs. According to many scientific studies, a BMI that’s too high or too low can correspond with problems that could impact an egg donor’s health as well as the quality and quantity of eggs retrieved.
