There are counter-examples showing it applies more widely than just the original communities. Aboriginal women seeking to block construction of a bridge to Hindmarsh Island refused to participate in the government or legal process unless it could guarantee that that no males (judges, lawyers, witnesss, juries, clerks, public servants, etc.) would hear their case, known publicly as Secret Women's Business.

Recently the National Library of Australia consented to restrictions on who could view a photography exhibition that featured a sacred men's only tree.

The idea of culturally sensitive "DRM" isn't actually new. The University of Sydney's informatics department came up against the same issues when it tried to preserve indigenous languages in electronic form about 4 or 5 years ago. Unfortunately I don't know the details of what they developed to solve the issue.

An important context to this is the ongoing political and popular debate about cultural assimilation of migrants to "western style" rights and equality. Rightly or wrongly, the Australian media has frequently published attacks on Islam, and by extension Islamic immigrants, for not treating the sexes equally.
