This might help.

Female Hyena's have what is called a pseudo-penis. Which is used for sex and urination, as well as giving birth.

Obviously giving birth splits it open fucks your whole year / life up.

My only question is: why would they evolve like that?

Or alternatively, what the fuck were they before that gave birth like this?

Majority of male hyenas had a docking fetish, and evolution facilitated their needs.

Because they didn't die like that.

Probably just "regular" mammals.

Mammals have a lot of weird dick things. Some bats have gone from penetrative sex back to just like touching genitals because their dicks are so huge they literally don't fit anymore.

So having a impractically huge dick was more important for some reason.

Guess something similar happened with hyenas vis-a-vis having become matriarchal at some point.
