This has implications in site design: male and female versions of the presentation layer?

In an ideal world yes, you would have differing presentations. I would imagine someone like Amazon has experience in this area. Also, see the difference between mens/womens categories at online retailers.

They don't show the store, but I think this is really just browse vs search (or narrowing browse). Any good online store has both.

I think it's more then that. Some sites, it makes a lot of sense to look at something, go back to the homepage (or another main page). Others try to let you roam. Move from product to product, related topics, add on products, see the forum, most popular in this category.... You follow a loose trail.
