If I am a to-be parent working 2 jobs and can barely afford food and shelter and the first time I see a doctor when pregnant is at the emergency room when delivering and the only paternity leave I get is some paltry wage from the state, in what universe does it matter that some women died of childbirth in the past 20,000 years? Like I said, it doesn't.
The difference of availability of support between the lower class and even the upper middle class is staggering and probably the widest it ever has been in human history. That's the point. Take a look at child mortality rates. They are much higher for the lower class and are part of the reason why the U.S.' rate is so low compared to other countries.
If you're comparing the suffering of the lower and middle classes to any other time in the past 20,000 years, do you not understand how little that makes sense? Of course it's better if you set the bar so low. And again like I said, you really can't compare. The mental and emotional stress that people experience today is of a different nature that hasn't existed before.

No one said that. And both the question and answer are immaterial to the discussion.

My point went completely over your head. That's why it doesn't make sense to you. The only lense you can see the world through is classes and oppression and inequality.
They don’t have the same healthcare as tribeswomen during pregnancy, they have multiple times better chances of surviving.
You’re delusional. I know life is hard, but it’s just not as hard as anyone has had it before the 1800s.
