It depends on her shape, tbh. All you're really going to get by way of an answer is the ladies with narrower sit bones going "yeh mens are fine" and the ones with wider ones going "no! must be girly or she'll die!"
One trick I read somewhere was to have the person sit on a large stack of damp paper towels so you get an impression of where the pointy bits of the pelvis are. You'll then be left with a mould that you can compare to saddles to see if the depressions are inside the saddle area or if they're hanging over the sides. God only knows how you're going to convince your missus to do that, though, especially if you have to tell her you intend to take a papier mache cast of her ladyarea to Evans to show it to the shopkeeps hanging about in the saddles section.
