      Women can only keep a secret for a mere 32 minutes.
      That's being a bit generous. ; )

    Being aware of your demographic is a vital part of copywriting. For the most part, men and women respond to the same tactics, but there are definitely some differences too.

    I've written copy in the get-pregnant niche. If you intend to write copy for women-dominated niches, learning those differences is important.
