what does it mean when Orcs bred with goblin-men?

And then put their childs in strange birthing pits. :3
Its just some BS that Peter Jackson and Co. came up with to make Saruman's Uruk-hai more kid-appropriate. In the books, Uruk-hai had already been bred by Sauron in Mordor in the same way one would breed cattle - only for height, strength, and resistance to sunlight. Saruman then bred his own "fighting Uruk-hai" by mixing orcs and humans - but it could only be speculated whether this was done by magic or the old fashioned way. (Note that at the end of the Return of the King (book), Saruman and Wormtongue take over the shire with a group of half-orc human brigands and other half-orcs are mentioned in the books.) Jackson obviously took the first route, avoiding any questions of: consentuality? and: male orc with female human or male human with female orc? Thus why the Uruk-hai come out of the ground in the movie. Which is even more aggravating when Gimli, discussing dwarf women with Eowyn in The Two Towers (extended edition), points out that the notion of there being no dwarf women and dwarves just spring up out of the ground is utterly ridiculous. And then you think "But it somehow wasn't for Uruk-hai?" I personally like to think that Uruk-hai were created in the worst way imaginable, but this is the part of me who wishes that Lord of the Rings was just a little more like a Song of Ice and Fire.
Is it possible for there to be a female Uruk? I think so, but how come you never hear or see of them? Is it because male and female look exactly the same, or were females taken away, locked up, killed, etc.?
Tolkien rarely made mention of females in his books, unfortunately. On one hand you have Eowyn who is a very important woman and a warrior (disguised as a man) and Luthien (from the Silmarillion) who bests Sauron and Morgoth with magic. On another hand, you have Galadriel, who is very important elf woman who protects Lorien with magic, but her husband is the Lord of Lorien; Melian the Maia who had a very similar situation with King Thingol; and Arwen, whose story is mostly relegated to an Appendix and is really not much more than a pretty Luthien-like character that is part of the driving force for Aragorn to become king (so he can marry her. Anyway, these are some of the few female characters of Tolkien's mythos. (I won't mention Hurin's mother and sister from Children of Hurin, etc.) On top of that, Dwarves are known to have a 3:1 male to female ratio, the Ents have lost the Entwives, and females of any evil species (orcs, trolls, etc.) are never mentioned. I don't know what this says about Tolkien. Nevertheless, Tolkien's orcs were likely as male dominated as the other races of Middle-Earth.
The movies tried to do a little better by having Arwen and Galadriel be main characters in EVERY movie and by making elves in general a more gender-equal society, but I honestly think they left the question of orc sex and gender untouched for obvious reasons. That said, I'm sure female extras played orcs (maybe not uruk-hai). If Dwarf women look similar enough to dwarf men to human eyes, there is no reason why a orc woman or troll woman might not be the same.
I think that There are Females, but they look very similar, Like GondorRanger.
