No direct links, but an idea. There's been talk recently that men and women should be taxed differently: because the effect of marginal tax rates upon women's decisions to seek employment or not is very different from men's. Marginal Revolution, Vox.eu, maybe Andrew Leigh, those sorts of places.
Have a look at:-

Particularly, "Means testing and tax rates on earnings".
