Note: "Feminist standpoint theory, then, makes a contribution to epistemology, to methodological debates in the social and *natural* sciences, to philosophy of science" (emphasis mine)

Probably also plato.stanford.edu/entries/fem but it's harder to tell
>At the core of many the feminist discussions of knowers is the idea that experiential differences lead to differences in perspective, and these perspectival differences carry epistemic consequences.
>If social location shapes one’s perspective on the world (through differential experiences) and we can only interact with the world and know it through that perspective, then the areas of knowledge for which one’s social location is relevant may be very broad indeed, and may include areas of knowledge not obviously connected to the experiences of a particular social location. According to these arguments, one’s perspective both shapes and sets limits on how a particularly located individual can know, at least through her own achievements.

I highly doubt the editors of those encyclopedias would react positively to a proposed article extolling the epistemic superiority of men, for example, or the "Aryan race".
