Imagine if men were in charge of being pregnant and taking care of very young children. This would be a terrible thing, in my opinion. Most men are too selfish and would otherwise be ill-equipped to manage pregnancy and infant/toddler care. Of course this is a generality; there are some men that would do just as well as women at this. I can't think of anything else that offsets the shortcomings most women have in reason and accountability. Only the naive, those will extreme experiences, and those in denial would argue that women are as reasonable and accountable as men overall. I need help deciding whether women taking care of our very young offsets this. Because obviously, this reason/accountability iniquity bothers me a ton.

You consider this to be an iniquity?
Women are women, and thank God for that! Men are men, and thank God for that, too! If you experience women who are "unreasonable and unaccountable" to a degree that bothers you so much, you might try finding women who are more to your liking. We come in all sorts of packages.

I didn't quite understand the question. In my experience women and men are pretty much equal over all. Individually or stereotypically speaking both sexes have advantages and disadvantages. I think men are better at jobs that require focusing. Examples are mechanics, programing and anything that can be done solo and requires hours of concentration. Women on the other hand are better at looking at things as a bigger picture. Thus things like managing, taking care of the whole family and keeping the bank account on track are stereotypically speaking better suited for women.
One disadvantage that women have over men is that men usually have stronger upper body strenght. Thus, jobs like being a firemen and construction are usually better for men. On the other hand, with today's technological advances this is not so much of an issue. There is no reason why a women cannot be a car mechanic since the tools do most of the work for you. You can't make that nut move, then use a longer wrench.
As far as I can tell, the only reason a woman have short comings is because the women believes the lies that society tells them and therefore limit themselves by not trying to achieve more.
Having kids is a lot of work. Women in the general whole are better at raisin kids. I think women can work harder and wine less about it. Men can do it too though. I take care of my kids more than my wife because of the schedule we have. The thing is that raising a kid takes a lot of time. Somebody haves to do it and a lot of times this means that somebody will have to stay home. So, usually is the women that picks up this job. Is this a shortcoming? I don't think so. Its a sacrifice. The alternative is not having children. This is also an acceptable option as long as you don't complaint that you never had kids. I mean that would sure make for some lonely thanksgiving dinners. Also, that's the only mechanism we have for achieving immortality. When someone who doesn't have kids die then that's game over for them. When someone who has kids dies, their kids survives them. Their gene line and belief system goes on. Is you choice in the end.

What are you on about? You need to give examples of how women are deficient in the reason and accountability area.
You also need to speak plain English.
Womens' bodies are designed to have babies. That is why they have them. Nothing to do with being selfish or unselfish. I know some women who are extremely selfish but still have babies. And reasonableness and accountable are definitely open to debate.

You do know there are men with "shortcomings in reason and accountability," don't you? Not all women have those shortcomings.
You obviously have a real problem with women.

is the chid-bearing phase. this cant be done by men but women
can also be a breadwinner of the family as like men can be regarded for

So the litany of deadbeat dads, rapists, serial killers and pedophiles are reasonable and accountable? Talk about denial.
