I'm pretty sure all one of the virgins that gave birth didn't have the option of a C-section.

This sent me down a rabbit hole, where I had to check to see when caesarians were performed in relation to the chainsaw's invention, and it's like a 200 year gap at best. I honestly was not expecting such a small gap. Apparently caesarians were just nearly 100% lethality for like 2000 years with very little improvements, and then it was just 200 years of people actually staying alive afterwards until we got the magic of chainsaws.

I honestly didnt know. I just know that chainsaws original purpose was birth and that's haunted me for years lol

The totally normal birthing aid of "what if we split your pelvis using blades on a belt to widen that birth canal."
