Why would you care either way how 'feminine' other men act as long as they aren't acting inappropriately towards you?

Usually in movies you aren't supposed to
enjoy a rape scene, are you?
The other themes are all common in the horror genre too. I'm a little surprised you are able to watch horror movies at all considering a large proportion of them involve people being scared, injured, intimidated and killed at some point.
As for the actual topic, the main problem with society in general stems from a lack of positive female role models. The horror genre has always been fairly progressive in that regard, in that there are plenty of good examples of positive female characters. Obviously there are exceptions, but compared to other genres where you see a wide array of vacuous female characters who simply can't exist inside a movie without a male character, horror is probably ahead of the curve.
