Are women stingierless generous with guests than men?

Bava Metzia 87a:

The verse states: “Make ready quickly three measures of flour, fine flour” (Genesis 18:6). The Gemara questions the apparent redundancy. It is written: “Flour,” and it is also written: “Fine flour.” Rabbi Yitzḥak says: From here we learn that a woman is more stingy with guests than a man. Sarah wanted to use merely flour, and Abraham persuaded her to use fine flour.

The logic is a bit fragile. Anything else in the Sources about women being stingierless generous than men with guests?
