but I really feel that it is implied that the "you" in the headline is male.
That was my first thought too. Because "than you might think" implies that you don't think it's (very) damaging (perhaps because you're the one doing it?). Also we are almost always the other, not the implied "you", if it was towards women it would say "more damaging to women than they think".
