Granted that's a viable concern, and one of the worries about the new imprint is that it's designed to "ghettoize" girl-oriented comics.
But on the other hand, I can't fault DC for following the money, or jumping on the manga bandwagon. At least they're trying a new direction than the old, failing focus on male collectors in their 20s. Also, if the Minx experiment is profitable, it's going to be because they actually do good, girl-friendly comics; and that success will definitely have an effect on the rest of the comic company.
As another example, over in Marvel, I found at least the early issues of Runaways to be rather girl-friendly, with a strong, varied cast of female characters (and some boys). That's done well enough that a movie is in development. So, I'm cautiously hopeful that this may be a trend.
