Yes, and more than you might think. Women’s bars tend to have more whip than men’s bars thanks to the smaller diameter of the shaft. There’s a reason powerlifters like stiffer bars and weightlifters prefer whippier bars. For a powerlifter, bar whip may be detrimental to their lifting if they, say, are squatting and hit the bottom of a squat and the bar oscillation (whip) hits after they start to drive up, it can force them to fight through it, and make the lift even harder.
Weightlifters on the other hand, tend to use the bar whip to their advantage — especially when doing jerks. They dip down and can time the bar whip just right to get some extra free upward momentum combined with their leg drive to power the weight upwards to make the lift. A great example of a weightlifter who gets the most out of a women’s bar’s whip is Lydia Valentin.
