Is it? Where does being able to give birth matter when it comes to the social construct of a woman? There are men, specifically trans men, who can give birth. Conflating the ability to give birth being inherently a feature of a woman is trans masc erasure.
I assume the comparison with diamonds has something to do with relationships, engagements, marriage, and the like. Being able to give birth is important if your marriage goal is to raise a family.
Of course it could be referring to the other major use for diamonds which is in industrial abrasives and cutting tools. In that case, maybe you value women for their abrasiveness!
