I don't think the idea is that real-world plowing is feminine so much as that choosing a non-violent activity in a role-playing game is a more likely choice for female players.

And therefore what, though? The DM was female. The players were female. I'm unlcear if this is just supposed to be a vignette on how females may view the world, or illustrating some difficulty women have interacting with the world because their viewpoints are otherwise ignored, which if that's the intent, I'm lost as to what should have been different in order to bring a more harmonious game session to the momentarily frustrated female players.
