Depends on threat to society, whether armed conflict or famine needing men to farm. Humans have evolved to have about balance in male/female reproduction, believe normal population births are 51% men and 49% women.

Of course, it takes only a few men to continue the population however this ratio probably serves the purpose noting men are likely to die early defending or working the fields.

Conclusion: both are important observing natural reproduction ratios but in a benign period of no war or famine, suggest women are more important because the men are not dying early.
