A tactic that is an extension of hunting, will be chosen by the men and rather consistently; while the women wonder what the hell is the matter with them.
A skill that is an extension of hunting, will be mastered by the men. While the women struggle to play catch-up. These are generalizations, so of course there are exceptions.
And it's reversed when it comes to keeping order in a workspace or living space. Chicks beat dudes in remembering where they put things. I'm not a chick so I'm pretty bad at this. I can be looking high & low for something when I had it in my hands two minutes ago.
We hear that men are worthless, because of technology. Nobody's hunting anymore. We're all watching videos, ordering groceries and tracking appointments on our 'smart phones'; and, the chicks are beating the dudes at these tasks, slightly. Said tasks have more to do with keeping order in a kitchen than hunting.
It's thousands and thousands of generations of evolution that made us this way.
But how did we get the tech to make the smart phone?

Tim adds:

It's not that women have an edge these days so much as that society has decided to value what they do more highly. The hunting virtues are still absolutely critical to the survival of civilization; what would we do without men going down in the sewers to repair them, or linemen working up on a line during an electrical storm when power is out and those smart phones running out of juice?

Let's face it, many women do those jobs too but always have to be backed up by men (or almost always). Women cops ultimately are good at ticket giving but not so handy in a bar fight.

And as Morgan K. Freeberg says, who invented all the tech? Women would spend too much time fussing over organizing the information and not messing up a perfectly good palm pilot to make it into something better. The hunter spirit is what drives innovation. You have to be willing to experiment and break things to innovate. I know; my wife is always yelling at me for messing with stuff and breaking it. To her one shouldn't risk making a mess despite the possible rewards.

Gatherers gather. There is a reason why the gatherers did NOT become the farmers. The hunters did, because it was a major innovation and required lots of experimentation. Women took up gardening and the like only after the field was plowed and ready to go.

Society values feminine traits more than masculine, and so many men are on board because it's the line of least resistance. Feminism made for lots of angry chicks and men will do ANYTHING to avoid an angry woman. Adam was willing to go to HELL to avoid pissing Eve off.

We live in a Matriarchy now, even if nobody says it. Little boys are told to be little girls (and are thus putting on dresses and asking to be called she and our society is encouraging that.) Little boys see their roles are not only not valued but discouraged. They either have to rebel or submit and become soy boys. Most submit and just do the dirty, nasty jobs for low pay and little reward. But fewer want to and so are either becoming street thugs or trying to become women.
