what's the meaning of this sentence,so difficult for me to understand.

If this is true, and I think it is, then women who have disproportionately cared for the little ones and the sick ones and the aging ones, have disproportionately benefited from the most profound kind of knowing there is: knowing the human condition.

The piece is suggesting that there is a different type of experience to be gained by caring for people than living a life without such activities. Women tend to carry out these activities and so they experience far more of the human condition. They are better placed to understand life, people and all that cannot be learned merely from books.
