Proper healthcare and not fighting wolves seen fine to me.

Salty woman, lol.

I can fight with a spear, but have hunted food with a gun. Do I qualify for capable husband material?

a much better "retort" to this would be the fact that anywhere from twice to 3 times as many women died during childbirth during pre-modern times as well as infants were relatively smaller at birth, meaning the experience as a whole was slightly less painful but also more deadly.
