Ah interesting, I hadn’t considered that ‘cater’ might be construed differently elsewhere! In British English, it just means ‘to provide what is wanted or needed by someone or something’ (or alternatively, to provide food -which isn’t the meaning I was using here). So, the title would literally mean ‘does EA provide what is wanted or needed by women?’
Good point re: Kelsey Piper, Miranda Dixon-Luinenberg, Julia Galef, Ajeya Cotra. I hadn’t considered e.g., The Scout Mindset becausein my mind it isn’t EA-specific as a book (even thought its used by the EA community), but that might be an oversight on my part—perhaps I was thinking too narrowly about EA literature with that particular example.

I think “does EA provide what is wanted or needed by women?” is a pretty serviceable title; two nations divided by a common language and such.
