Yes. I have found that <generalization> men and women think about things in different ways, probably due to differing life experiences (cf. Monique's comment re: female getting weird email about her picture showing she is too good for her boyfriend - how often would something like that happen to a male?). </generalization> There are differing life experiences, and both bring interesting viewpoints into technical and non-technical circles.
