Yeah and to add that isn't to say women can't be productive. Even if you have as many babies as possible, you're going to stop producing your most viable eggs at around 35, after that age you will see a drastic increase in complications and in the past that would have translated into a higher infant mortality rate. It's cruel for nature to do but that's what it does. So that means a women will spend almost half her life without children, more if she doesnt have more than 3. My mom had her first at 25, had 3 and that was enough. She basically didn't have more to do in terms of raising children after she hit 40 so what is a women to do with the next 30+ years of her life? Sit around and wait to die? So they need to work but they can't do hard labour like men do in oil fields and construction, but they can work textiles and other smaller things.
