Perhaps, but English doesn't need this strategy. It has another. It
uses vocal emphasis to underline a word or phrase in speech.
That does make it dicier doing it in writing, though, unless you get rather creative. (Italics can be distracting.) It would be so nice to be able to mess around with word order. But I'll take that limitation gratefully rather than having to deal with gender.
