Exactly, even if their society is a bit sixist towards female's, even if it's only within the army, it's slaves that are treated badly.
Examples of women not being taken for slavery:
* Jeannie May
* Female Courier
* Primm
Legion has citizens, both male and female.
So Legion lands are safe for women who are citizens.
And hell, as long as a breeder doesn't oppose the Legion I think their life is considerably better than a labour slave.
A labour slave has to work all the time, every day for little food.
A breeder on the other hand, and this is just speculation but it makes sense, they have to be treated better.
Think about it, they need food for two, so they will get more food.
As long as they don't try to make a run for it or oppose Legion they'll likely not have to work a day in their life.
And they won't be physically mishandled as it could hurt the babies, which Legion needs.
It wouldn't make much sense for Legion to treat their breeders horribly as they need the women and their babies.

A BREEDER. Listen to yourself talk about women and trying to make it sound pleasant! LOLOL *shakes head* And don't get me started on Jeannie May! What a horrible woman, selling a pregnant woman into slavery!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I'm doing... well TRYING a Legion play through right now. I even created a male toon for that reason. So, I went to Nipton, told the Legion, I admire their swift justice or something, gained a bit of Legion fame, then went on my merry way, told NCR about what happened, all is good.
I walked towards Novak, stopped at the Wolfshorn Ranch (to find traces of my beloved Ulysses <3 oh uhm, wait I'm playing a guy now...) anyway, so these Traveling Merchants spawn on the overpass, I trade and then go on ahead. What do I see? Two legionnaires on the side of the road, setting up an ambush for INNOCENT traders. I just couldn't help myself, I had to protect the merchants. So, I kill like 5 Legionnaires, then head to Novac.
I go exploring and WHAT THE heck? Legion assassins show up and they tell me Ceasar has marked me for death... wow, Ceasar gets his panty in a twist over 5 Legionnaires? psh I was like level 8 and died 4 or 5 times, but I went back to the spot until I killed them LOL Oh and every kill adds Legion Infamy? They attacked ME!
So, I head to Nelson to see if I can get back on the good side of the Legion. The Decanus, Dead Sea, asks me to wipe out Forlorn Hope!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way man! So, I head there, since I know there are so many quests.
And then it hits me, why I don't like the Legion, at all... They talk to me like I'm scum. I clicked on some recruit and he said "Degenerates like you should hang from a cross" Hello, you don't know me! I could be a potential ally! It's even worse when you are a woman. The guy at the arena in the Fort, told my female toon "Woman, know your place" when I asked if I could fight in the arena.
NCR on the other hand talk like REAL human beings. They are just trying to make a difference in the wasteland, trying to establish order, where there is none. They are grateful for help and they talk and act with compassion. Sure, the higher ups might have their own agenda, but most soldiers in the field are just like you and me. Plus, they don't want to erase your identity or enslave you.
Man, I'm really struggling with this Legion play through... LOL Maybe I head to Cottonwood and see if I can exploit that dialogue loop about the landmines, get the Lucky shades and then it's Hasta la Vista Legion...
