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

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.
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.
Thanks,
