I suspect it's supposed to be a pun on "man". The only other tool in this space that comes to mind is GNU's "info"...
What name would you have given the tool?

"boy" is an alternative, though I'm sure it would do very little to placate the misogyny complaints.
Nothing will placate the misogyny complaints, which is why they are best ignored.
Literally anything else.
Are you man enough to use `girl` pages?
So, these 'girl pages' only have examples and not the technical explanation of the command? Yeah, I'm thinking you might want to keep looking.
That would be ok. ladypages just sounds like an unsavoury euphemism.
Call them syspages (modified from suggestion from upthread).
How about Xpages? X for example but also to provide a nice counter to manpages?
There is already a software product owned by IBM called Xpages probably wouldn't be allowed due to copyright
tinpages. That way the tools do what they say on the tin.
I really like this. I'm going to go ahead and add it to my ~/.bashrc, because I feel weird about typing bro a lot:
alias tin='bro'
xmp?
