> Who do you think built and maintained the socioeconomic systems that allowed women to focus on creating and raising children?

This statement completely ignores how our current world is shaped by white supremacy and the patriarchy. Women were prohibited from taking part in anything expect raising children (which even today is seen as contributing nothing).

Women who dared venture outside the home had their work ignored or credit stolen. Eunice Foote and Rosalind Franklin are two obvious examples.

Later, textiles, telecoms and computing were powered by women labour and they were expected to stay in their lane so the men could take credit and the money.

> Women have stopped making babies.

Couples have stopped making babies.
