Since I did not understand the question good friend Gus posted, I'll just answer this way.
It may be some primal urge to believe one could survive, or even thrive as a pioneer human. Hunting game, and catching fish. True many women also hint, and fish.
Some women like to believe they have basic skills such as sewing, quilting being a advanced sewing skill.
I stated that over simple, but I hope I got a point across.
