I answer yes to all of 3 your questions.
And Tina is right - in translating it you have closed down the open ended nature of her question.....
Have you inadvertently walked in to a gendered trap (about the ways that male reserachers might influence female researchers?

Teena,
Aliens and my smart-ass answers aside, I would translate you questions as
1) "Is there design research of some sort or style that is mainly done by or favored by female researchers over male researchers?
2) "Is there design research of some sort or style that is mainly done by or favored by male researchers over female researchers?
3) "Do male researchers influence female researchers to do different research or to do research differently than they would without male researchers influencing them?"
Did I get it right? I don't even have the start of an answer but I think they are fascinating questions. I'd love to know what various researchers (male and female) think.
Gunnar
