I suspect it's supposed to be a pun on "man". The only other tool in this space that comes to mind is GNU's "info"...
What name would you have given the tool?

How about Xpages? X for example but also to provide a nice counter to manpages?

Are you man enough to use `girl` pages?

"boy" is an alternative, though I'm sure it would do very little to placate the misogyny complaints.

That would be ok. ladypages just sounds like an unsavoury euphemism.

There is already a software product owned by IBM called Xpages probably wouldn't be allowed due to copyright

Call them syspages (modified from suggestion from upthread).

I really like this. I'm going to go ahead and add it to my ~/.bashrc, because I feel weird about typing bro a lot:
alias tin='bro'

So, these 'girl pages' only have examples and not the technical explanation of the command? Yeah, I'm thinking you might want to keep looking.

Nothing will placate the misogyny complaints, which is why they are best ignored.
