It might, but your question points the way to different interfaces, and
perhaps different rules, for different demographics. And, to repeat
myself, a family of articles on any given topic, each published from an
identifiable perspective, such as, a "female-dominant" perspective. I
remember visiting a bookstore like that years ago; they were debating
whether straight women should be allowed to shop there... But that is
only an absurd example; there is more than one canon of knowledge.
