A woman that doesn’t bear* children has the same value to society as a man.
*Edit cause mistake.
I'm pretty sure baring children will land you in prison* regardless of your gender
*unless you're rich, or famous, or powerful, or Donald Trump, or some eldritch combination thereof
On a serious note, I'm not quite sure how to parse your statement. I don't think women's value should be defined in the slightest by whether they have kids or not. Are you saying that women who don't bear kids are less valuable than mothers? more valuable than mothers? (I'm leaning towards interpreting it as the former, because it is my firm belief that men are pretty useless, but it still helps to clarify)
Your uncertainty on how to parse the statement is exactly how i want it to be parsed.
If you’re a misogynist, it means the value of the woman increases. If you’re a misandrist it means the value decreases.
If you’re a good person it means the value doesn’t change at all. Gender equality for all.
