There's a reason it's called male pattern baldness. There's also a reason that the active in Propecia (finasteride) for baldness is the same as in Proscar (for prostate hypertrophy). It's a testosterone blocker. That's why both Proscar and Propecia bear vague warnings...

Women who are pregnant or may get pregnant must not handle broken or crushed finasteride tablets; the active ingredient could harm the unborn baby. If a pregnant woman comes into contact with broken or crushed finasteride tablets she should check with her prescriber or health care professional.

...exposure can cause intersex conditions because of the testosterone blockage.
