Well got my helmet. Fits great! 275g for medium...a $250 Synthe MIPS is 270g. $30 compared to $120 for the "men's" helmet. Only differences are the color schema, it says "womens series" on the side, and the rear adjustment dial thing seems to be roomier for ponytails.

One nice thing about the women's helmets is that the available color schemes are a lot more interesting. Men's stuff is always so damn boring. Same goes for women's bikes. Manufacturers seem to think that men want everything in flat black or maybe some really boring dark blue. Apparently only women are allowed to like brighter colors.
And as for pink, I'm not a fan myself, but it is really interesting that it's considered a "feminine" color, when only 100 years ago it was considered a very masculine color, and baby boys were dressed in pink.
