"If a woman has the strength to bear a child, she can swing a sword as well as any man" is one of the worst nonsense analogies I've ever heard. It doesn't even make sense within its own internal logic. Either it's conflating strength of will with strength of body, or it's saying that pelvic floor strength equates to arm strength. Either way you'd have to be borderline retarded to think it makes sense.
As I'm fond of telling my wife, women give birth in comas. Giving birth is the same process biologically as passing feces. No one says taking a shit is the same as fighting.

My wife gave birth 100% lucid and drug free. She wanted to see what it was like. If you're wondering, the answer is "horrifying".
But you're right, natural births are ridiculously rare these days, which only makes the argument even worse than I had previously given it credit for.
