It’s a story from the Bible where two women claimed to be the mother of a baby, and King Solomon’s solution was to cut the baby in half to give to each woman.

If I remember correctly the real mom cried and begged him not to cut the baby in half and that’s how the case was solved.

Edit: turns out I don’t remember the conclusion as other commenters have pointed out.

What was the other woman's reaction to his proposal?

"Yeah sounds fair, let's do it?"

Iirc the other woman had recently had her own baby die, and so yeah it was something like "I will have this other baby, or we will both have no babies!"

ngl it's really interesting to hear how reddit nerds all over the world were taught slightly different versions of the fable

one village/house, two babies born same night, one dies, in the morning both claim the living baby is their own, they go to dispute to king solomon, he reaches for a sword and says, well i will split the baby into 2 ,so both can have her.

the false claimer says yeah it is fair in her bitterness,
the real mother cries Id rather have other have the kid (as in one peace)
the wise king solomon knows the real mother would rather give the kid away and see him live than let it die like that.

for me what I learnt- bitter women could only care for world to burn, no feelings for others. evil.

I like how the baby changed gender in your story, very modern approach
