The only real functional difference between womens saddles and mens saddles is that womens tend to be wider than mens. Some designs have the womens saddle a bit shorter as well.

I've rode the womens version of the Toupe while i was checking a female friend's bike for creaks. It was very uncomfortable but i have nothing to compare it aganst because i've not rode a on a Toupe yet.

It depends on your sit bone width and yes men can have wide sit bones too. I'm currently using a Fizik Vitesse womans saddle on my road bike and its fine but I'm thinking of going for something in the middle. I'm OK with it but its probably a tiny bit wide for me.
