I have never noticed that this trait is specific to women. I have seen a lot of people (men and women) orient the map in the direction they are facing. It is a technique that I have seen taught in the military (with no regard to gender) used in combination with a compass when doing dismounted land nav.

I always turn the map so i can read the words written on it. They are all usually going the same way. Which means you hold it with north up. So i can read it easily i turn it that way.

Because they view matters from different many point of view, unless the men.

Because they cant really read it and are always lost. They think it is like a compass.
