I don't think it's nearly as clearcut as that, but rather, we are at an inflection point where preference patterns are being sorted out again.
Many women who have access to home charging already drive electric, but they tend to be much more well off and suburban. I personally know a some low to moderate income women who would like to drive an EV but can't afford one yet, new or used.
Many men are also trendiness-averse. A large part of it also has to do with social signaling, i.e. do you live in an area that is generally pro-petroleum or anti-petroleum.
