I think the movie's treatment of Black Widow (and women in general?) overall is pretty horribly sexist though. It's just not a very good movie though, and for reasons other than sexism.
Why? I was actually in the bathroom for the majority of this scene, so I wasn't even aware that she was sterile until this thread, but I don't really remember much sexism throughout the rest of the movie.
