If all your fighting age males died the women and children would just becomes slaves to whoever won. There are numerous examples of this being documented during Romes expansion into Western Europe.

A group of young men on the contrary can quite easily raid and kill the men in neighboring villages and take as many women as they can keep as slaves. Again, documented in Romes founding.

People seriously underestimate how bloody and amoral history is and that women were as complicit in all of the barbarity as the men.
