Just a reminder, we have a conversation started here about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Feminism#Gender_neut...
I also brought up the use of some templates used for gender studies. If we can start contributing to the wiki about this, that'd be wonderful!
Thanks everyone for your input and Jayen466 for taking the initiative,

-Sarah I agree with a gender-specific tag as well. NPOV is (by design) vague and, to me, not quite the fit we need as it is best applied to allegedly non-neutral use of language (in obvious cases of POV language, I just fix
it
... there's no need to discuss). We ourselves already have {{globalize}}
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Globalize
for the situation of articles reflecting only the experience of one particular region of the world or country. I don't see why gender bias couldn't be addressed the same way.
I was going suggest the Globalize template as well; it's a good model of encouraging broader diversity (The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject) without the boilerplate harsher tone of the stand NPOV template.
