Go to the Psychonomics norm site (link below) and when you get to
the search screen, type in Clark (me) or Paivio.  We report
updated norms for the Paivio, Yuille, & Madigan items.  We have
several measures of gender ladenness for the 925 items in the
norms.  Or you can get them from my website at the link below.
