Personally, I would like to see history of fights where mothers fight off goblin snatchers with whatever they have close at hand. I assume most mothers don't carry around halberds and swords, and that they would bludgeon the goblin to death with pots full of boiling water. Or a carving knife attached to a rope reed fiber thread. Or she could just choke the goblin with the rope reed fiber thread.

Rat-flails!
But why do you think that mothers (even presumably breast-feeding ones) are less likely than fathers to have 'proper' weapons?  In DF, they're as likely to be miners, woodcutters and indeed in the military (albeit that players are advised not to let them train in a danger-room, but the same goes for pet-owners albeit that the pets can at least be temporarily separated from them) as the fathers and general population (male or female)...

Unless the player has willed otherwise, of course, but I'm betting there's a number of players actively following the route of Amazonian principles. :)

Mothers shouldn't be carrying around swords and babies, that can only lead to bad things.
