there certainly isn’t enough data, especially on shopping sites, the difference between how men and women use search, navigation, etc. We’re struggling with this ourselves since our studies have shown that women appreciate “social navigation” a lot (ie. narrow by affinity, pros, cons, best uses), while men find it to be in the way of the “fact based navigation” (ie. spec data) they are used to seeing to drill down to the product they’re looking for.
