You’ve accepted the assertion from someone of supposed authority without question.
It’s a pretty awful assertion, as it both blames and infantilizes those helpless and weak “modern women” while dismissing the medical needs of the hearty and hale savages.
I suppose those modern women wouldn’t need the spin bed if they spent more time working at home. Great-grandma scrubbed those floors on her knees, and popped out 12 kids, no problem.

- Spooky23 3y agoThe proposition relies on the notion some sort of muscle development is an actual problem. I'm alluding to the romantic notion of the "noble savage" in this context, as the material assumes that "primitive" peoples somehow didn't have any problem in this area.
