>Any woman can look at what another woman goes through during pregnancy/childbirth/infant rearing and think they might want to avoid that.

They can, but then in some cultures, their religious leaders will tell them they need to go through all that, many times, or else their god will be angry with them.

Yes, I was alluding to that. My greatest concern for my daughter or her kids is the eventual loss of women’s rights simply due to shrinking of population of tribes that support women’s rights and proliferation of tribes that do not.
Yes, I don't have a daughter, but I'm also very concerned about that. It feels like there's an assumption that the tribes that don't support women's rights will adopt that cultural mindset over time, but I'm not so sure it's a good assumption.
