Does it actually make a difference if a man uses MALE or FEMALE hairdye?

Question

First, I have naturally black hair.  I'm 37 years old and am now starting to show my gray hair.  Well, actually for a few years now but...  whatever.  I have always been using those do-it-yourself hairdye boxes you can get from Rite Aid and Walgreens.  The thing is, I've always been getting the ones from the women's aisle.  I never even paid attention to there being "men's" hair dye.  Is there a real difference?  Does it matter?  The last time I died my hair was about 3 weeks ago and some of the gray is still coming through.  Any advice?

doesn't matter much.. its just a nice way to make money to sell almost the same stuff separately.

Instead of 1 bottle of shampoo you now have 1 for him and 1 for her etc

Of course womens dye is the same as mens dye.

You can choose between permanent, semi-permanent or washout. 

mens and womens hair is the same right?

Men's is hair COLOR which washes out...
