Hi Amy
Because Eve is the mother of all living things. Females generally are interested in living things, people, animals, and plants, or things closely tied to living things such as healing medicine, or food.

Some females, granted, are very good at math. But as a general rule, math, mechanics, and things like that are more of interest to males.
