Again, this all depends on whether giants are social creatures or not. From what I've read, there is little evidence to suggest that females stay in large social groups, let alone that there are female giants. It could be just as likely that males establish and set territory and females choose a mate based on the territory and resources of the males (in addition to any other sexual selection pressures there may be on male giants). In this case, it may be the females who guard and maintain the giant's domicile, while the males maintain territory and bring home the spoils of their pillaging (or hunting or whatever). There is a lot of support for female "nesting" behavior across a wide variety of species, including that of humans.
Anyway, territorial males and nesting females is just as likely as "prides" of female giants. More likely, even, as many giants would be cause more of a hubub than few giants, depending on territory and proximity to human habitation.
