Because "people = wealth" in Africa, men made ironworking their way of procreating/sustaining society in an ideological way. They did this by asserting that smelting was their way of "giving birth." True or False?

The statement is true in a metaphorical sense, as ironworking in African cultures symbolized wealth and sustainability. Men viewed their ability to smelt iron as a form of procreation, vital for societal support. Thus, ironworking represented not just a skill but a way to sustain and nurture their communities.
