The question is not really whether biological gender affects taste in horror cinema but whether the way society expects you to perform within your gender affects the way you behave and your tastes.

I have never thought that because I know multiple women who like horror movies. Honestly, I think more women like horror movies than is assumed. Additionally, I have never met a woman who responds to horror movies the way you describe (this is not to say that I don't know any women who dislike horor just that they don't respond the way you described).
