No. I guess it could have...but it didn't this time. I think because I was pretty open to it being either gender, just thinking it was more likely to being female.
Perhaps my feelings toward the author somewhat as it is always nice to have profemale men around.
I think it is more likely to make an impression to men reading the article than to women as I think the article has potential to feel like an attack on men....esp if one is a man.
There may be ways to share this information with folks and have it feel more informative than inflamatory.
