In a way I'd say yes. Women being much more given to what could be called a subjectivist world-view find the inherent ambiguity of modernism quite appealing. They often find objective reasoning difficult, as it so often demands conclusions which conflict with whatever their current emotional state happens to be. "Oh, you mustn't say that such and such is always wrong, my friend (or sister, aunt, mother &c.) does this and she certainly isn't really a bad person" In other words, "that makes me feel bad, so I don't want to hear it." Emotion and imagination are preferred to strict logical thinking, fuzziness and ambiguity to clear precise definitions, and so forth. This is why women aren't generally all that interested in studying Philosophy and Theology.
