I wrote a whole essay and then deleted it, lmao, but to be concise.

Depends on the era and time. The higher in class and the closer to the industrial revolution the more believable this trope is, imo, not because needlework was less useful but because certain status classes both wouldn't be expected to do practical sowing and sowing was explicitly a gendered leisure activity.

Soldiers and sailors could often live in the types of liminal spaces where gender would not be performed the same as when they were back in their non-military societies, so whether it a non-gendered expectation was location dependent to.

Yes many media creators don't care about the above and are trying to indicate something to an audience more familiar with various feminist movements would recognize.
