Thanks all for the feedback. I've started a discussion on-wiki, at

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.
