AD&D First Edition unironically had what would be considered relatively far-right themes today, for example the Monster Manual's description of orcs goes full chud about half-orcs (keep in mind that even though orcs are still a monster in 5E, half-orcs are now a not-exclusively-evil player race, but the reasons half-orcs exist have, obviously due to the name, stayed the same), without getting into character or quoting anyone, just in the same context as their stats.

As orcs will breed with anything, there are any number of unsavory mongrels with orcish blood, particularly orc-goblins, orc-hobgoblins, and orc-humans. Orcs cannot cross-breed with elves. Half-orcs tend to favor the orcish strain heavily, so such sorts are basically orcs although they can sometimes (10%) pass themselves off as true creatures of their other stock (goblins, hobgoblins, humans, etc.).

Many of the humanoid monsters contain ways to calculate how many females (OMG /r/menandfemales!!!!) are in the group if the monsters are in their lair. Notably, this is not calculated when these monsters are found as a group outside of their lair, implying that their warriors/raiding bands are entirely composed of men. In many cases, such as bugbears, troglodytes (for extra lulz troglodyte as used in D&D is a near-exact synonym of Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller), centaurs giants, and ogres, the female counterparts of the monsters had lower hit dice and damage, often directly using the hit dice and damage of a weaker monster to represent them.

If 12 or more bugbears are encountered there will be a leader with 22-25 hit points (armor class 4, attacks as a 4 hit dice monster, gets +1 on damage caused). If 24 or more are encountered there will be the following additional bugbears: a chief (armor class 3, 28-30 hit points, attacking as 4 hit dice monster, and doing +2 damage) and a sub-chief (as per leader-type above). If encountered in their lair there will always be a chief and sub-chief, and there will be females and young equal to 50% each of the number of males. Neither of the latter types of bugbears will fight unless in a life or death situation. In the latter case the females fight as hobgoblins and the young will fight as kobolds.

The lair of a tribe of troglodytes is typically a large cave or cavern with small chambers adjoining it in which the individual units live. A lair will contain females equal to 100% of the males. Females fight as 1 + 1 hit dice monsters. There will also be hatchlings and eggs, but these are of no importance.

If centaurs are encountered in their lair it will be a hidden glen with rich grass and running water. Here, there will be found 1-6 additional males, females equal to twice the number of males, and young from 5-30 in number. Females (3 hit dice) and young (1-3 hit dice) do not use weapons and will only fight with their hooves in a life and death situation. If the females and young are threatened, the centaurs will be 90% likely to ransom them with their main treasure. They speak their own language and that of their alignment.

If more than 4 fire giants are encountered in their lair the additional ones will be females (corresponding to frost giants for hit dice and damage/attack), except that if 7 or 8are encountered the last one or two will be young (roll percentile dice for size).

If more than 4 frost giants are encountered in their lair numbers 5 and 6 will be females (treat as stone giants with respect to hit dice and damage/attack), and 7 and 8 will be young giants (roll percentile dice to determine size).

If more than 4 stone giants are encountered in their lair numbers 5and 6 will be females (treat as hill giants with regard to hit dice and damage/attack), and numbers 7 and 8 will be young (roll percentile dice to determine size).

If more than 1 cloud giant is encountered in their lair it is 75% likely that the second will be a giantess (treat as firegiant for hit dice and damage/attack).

If more than 4 hill giants are encountered in their lair numbers 5, 7, and 9 will be giantesses (6 hit dice, and treat as ogres for damage/attack) .

If ogres are found in their lair there will be from 2-12 females who fight as normal ogres but do only 2-8 points of damage and take a maximum of 6 hit points per hit die.

This was not limited to monsters, and similar rules existed for elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, and various kinds of men (the official category which all the generic human stat blocks were grouped under in the book) implying that even in Player Character races, it was extremely rare for women to leave the immediate location of the community, although women had the same stats as men in these cases, deviating from the "-4 str" meme. Also, the different kinds of men included Tribesmen and Dervishes. There was also a source book published until 3E called Oriental Adventures, which was exactly what the name sounds like.
