I grew up in Da Yoop. In my high school, our head cheer leader was an expert bow hunter. This "discovery" is not in any way a surprise to me.

It's echo-chamber, culture-war nonsense. There's a reason men are the vast majority of physical jobs, and it's not because anyone is stopping qualified women from working.

Just as an example, in my personal experience, we rarely received women's applications to work warehouse or roofing, and even less who met the qualifications of being able to pick up minimum 50lbs (not that heavy, approximately 2x 24's of beer) on their own.

I'd also like to point out that, while I'm not trying to minimize her impressive achievements, your friend is from modern society, not ancient. She had the privilege of going to school, being a cheerleader and having free time, instead of cranking out babies in the ancient wilderness.
