I love the idea of having articles of gender concern in a one stop

-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

... 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.
