I know the context. It's there next to the rest of it. Women are made to have children. Its better for them to do that & die than not do it.
-
Obviously because they thrive better if they obey God's command to be fruitful & if it actually kills them, doesn't matter, coz heaven.
-
God or not, heaven or not, probably better to do something fulfilling even if it kills you, than not and live a long, less-fulfilling life.
-
But he didn't say 'Better to do something fulfilling even if kills you rather than live long, less-fulfilling life.'
-
He said having babies was the purpose for which women exist.
-
Um. If women aren't going to bear human children, I don't know who else is going to do it. So, like, survival of species? Biology?

So, you read it as demeaning, I read it as kind of an obvious fact. To each their own.
