Would the human race have been better if women had more eggs and male sperm degraded faster?

I'm not a biologist, but was wondering how different life would be if women had reproduction in our favor. I believe it's men who should be peaking biologically in their late 20s and early 30s; not women. If women had higher egg counts, would women hold more power in reproduction? My mom was always of the mind women are forced to have children too early; that girls don't really become women until they hit 30 years of age. The same can be said for men; as if they're really matured mentally in their 20s, I think the same applies to women. The problem is we as women have the baggage of rushing into motherhood and we're not even fully developed adults when we're incredibly young.

I'm an older mother, but I understand my situation isn't normal for the average woman. My own mother had me when she was 42, even though I was her second child in a different marriage.
