women are supposed to be pregnant and nursing from 16 until menopause, correct. the problem is that this is no longer compatible with modern civilization, and really hasn't been since the late 1800's. women were pumping out babies because infant and child mortality was around 50%; half your god damned kids would die before 18. so if you needed 6 hands to plough the field, you had to pump out 12 kids. nowadays, with infant mortality being effectively zero, having 12 kids is an insane financial burden because those kids aren't contributing to the economy of the home, since nobody works in agriculture anymore. so there isn't a *reason* for women to be pregnant all the time. and because women aren't pregnant all the time anymore, the female psyche basically doesn't know how to deal with that because that's all it's operated with for over a billion years. we as a species have no answer for what to do with women in the current paradigm, because even the domestic tasks that normally would have occupied a woman's non-nursing time during the day has been almost completely automated (washing machines etc). so what the fuck are women supposed to do? we don't know, and in their idleness for the past 150 years they've wrecked society.
