Took me back many years to the NCO Academy and a discussion on why we were so loath to put women in combat....I posited it was built-in survival for the Human race - kill a lot of men and save the women and you could repopulate - kill a lot of women and the job of propagation became drawn out and tenuous. It was long enough ago I didn’t get booed by the females or any wussy men.

I have always felt the same about women in combat. Noting perverse, just that is the way it really is.

If a primitive tribe fights a bear, and half the men are killed off, the tribe will suffer but can be backup to full strength in a few years.

Kill off half the women and it will be decades or longer to replenish those lost. Otherwise the tribe will have to raid other tribes for females.

That's my biggest problem with the Walking Dead. 98% of the population dead, zombies all around, and yet the women don't stay behind the walls, they wander around getting killed and captured just as much as the men.
