Yep! That was one of the things that was established early on - we don't want to be sexist and write things only for women. I'm not sure if there are going to be any men among the authors, though.
Men's magazines like Ralph and FMV are just as awful. According them we're supposed to have beefcake bodies before we can be considered attractive to women (who apparently we're only interested in for sex... all the time), we must be rich (the only reason that women are apparently interested in us), we must be interested in cars, we must be permanently inebriated, and we must never do anything 'gay' like cry.
Which is why I prefer to buy magazines like Doctor Who Magazine, Retrogamer, and National Geographic. They're gender inclusive and they don't tell me how I should apparently be, but rather appeal to how I already am.
