Huh. Is there a female-coded equivalent to male prepper type skills? Like something that tends to be practiced primarily by women that’s only actually really useful under conditions that don’t exist in society today for most people? (Compare: Hunting, wilderness survival, etc)
However, this doesn't mean that Earthskills people ignore gender, or treat men and women as interchangeable or "basically the same".

From what I've seen, the Earthskills people implicitly embrace a philosophy of embodiment. We're not just free-floating minds that happen to have gotten stuck in particular bodies. We *are* our bodies, just as much as we are our minds.

As a result, there's lots of emphasis on the fact that male and female bodies are different and play different roles in the cycle of life. Not in a normative way; it's just sort of taken for granted that childbearing sets women apart from men, and that this is natural and good.
