Ar, well I did hint a little at it in TD. At the intro to Part 3 I explained away my female mudokons like Anni with this...
:

Sometimes infertile male-sized mudokon females are hatched. These are best suited to serving as attendants for the Mudokons Queen of the time. However, due to a genetic anomaly some fail to develop suitably for caring for mudokon young. These undeveloped ‘worker class’ females are sometimes sold as labour, but they develop into adulthood more slowly than males and are less suited for hard work, and are therefore sold cheaply.

So I was thinking about where these females would fit in industrial society, and I thought that they would be used to produce healthier mudokon children. And I just imagined that they wouldn't need to be taught or told anything to do that job, so they would be completely oppressed.
The milk thing came largely cus i needed to separate them from Anni and Kix and the like; in fact, milk is a misnomer; it's more like royal jelly, which is to bees what milk is to mammals.
and I've been writing TD for the last 2 years thinking only two people were reading it.
