  I love the idea of having articles of gender concern in a one stop shopping space. Going through the NPOV collection is long, painful and is filled with lots of advertising articles for tech companies. Blarghhhh

     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.
