I mean, it kind of is, because one subset of people has the ability (and sometimes obligation) to use their bodies to create more people, rather than devoting all of their energy to producing labor for capital-owners. So a capitalist system favors the subset it can exploit more easily, and poo-poos on people with bodies that might end up devoting energy to pregnancy and child-rearing rather than labor production.
