Self sufficiency and the lack of the "eewwww!" shriek when dealing with issues your mothers going back 10,000 years handled with aplomb does seem to fall in line with a certain political attitude. It is difficult to imagine your typical Wymyns' Studies graduate, whether she bathes and shaves her legs regularly or not, handling the capture, killing, gutting, cleaning, and cooking of a single fish. Most of them would rather and would starve first.

Plus, "There ain't nuthin' finer than a naked (or fully clothed, for that matter) woman with a gun"

You are right! My Grandmother’s killed/plucked/cooked their own chickens. (they were very feminine as well). It seems silly to me that someone would rather starve then capture, kill, clean and cook a fish. I don’t see any difference than plucking tomatoes off a vine to go with dinner and catching a fish to go with the tomatoes. It really is providing food for one’s family which women have been doing for a LONG time.
