I actually am very interested in this question, and ask it with seriousness. My wife and children don't think I am utterly sane to ask..

ROTFL! Poor tortured soul! I hope you find comfort here.

I guess I imagined that they did breed and have a community such as it was.... I think we have assumed those we confronted in the story were all male though... but maybe we just can't tell.... (its the beards)

I think the ones in the books were presented as all male too, of course there aren't many women mentioned by name in the books at all. But, the predominance of males in the book were another thing that reminded me of the Islamic culture. I kinda figured orcs treated their wimmin like the Islamics do.

There she goes on that political track again!
