no thanks. just think about it: doesn't work for like the first twelve or thirteen years of its existence - a time longer than the lifespan of many medium-sized mammals. still can't safely be used for another three or four years after that or will likely lead to death. regular autonomic maintenance causes pain, mood swings, bloating, loss of fluids and iron. about one in eight times does not work at all, or only with extreme difficulty - imagine that rate with any other organ system. usage often leads to death in full-grown female without modern medicine. ceases working after only about 30 years of operation (again, imagine that with any other organ system) and chance of producing defective offspring increases dramatically until that point. lethal ectopic pregnancies are extremely common, as are stillbirths, congenital birth defects, and premature births, even with modern nutrition. gestation period of nine months; for the back half of the pregnancy, the mother goes through mood swings, pain, vomiting and becomes increasingly helpless to predators. median litter of only one. offspring does not develop enough internally; comes out utterly helpless and incompetent and remains that way for a startling amount of time: within a few hours after birth a deer or cow will be walking - it will take a human over a year, and at least three before they can do it reliably. it will be about ten years before the human can competently feed itself and be anything other than a joke to predators. initial intercourse causes pain, and infections common

why women are the lesser sex

right and the purpose of adaptations is to increase survivability within those conditions. the organism with those adaptations exists because it fit its environment. again, not a difficult concept to grasp

lmao

"this trait is adaptive because it exists"

that's a very simplistic way of putting it. more specifically, traits exist because they are beneficial or are insufficiently maladaptive to severely impact having viable offspring in context of all other adaptations and environment. for example, the human female can get away with producing inept grubs that cannot even fend for themselves for a decade because human society exists around her and developed to mitigate the failing of needing to produce offspring that are 50% skull by volume. again, not difficult

she's probably going to just get herself opened up, take it out like removing the battery from a honda, avoid the terrible design of mother nature
