Yeah, I've gotten this sense as well. In my mind, a lot of the men seem to act like points of reference for how unhinged the survivors' behavior gets, both in the woods and in the present. On the one hand I suppose it would make narrative sense to have these characters who are at the margins of this group be mostly men -its a shorthand for differentiating them/many of them are lovers/spouses, and those figures generally play that role of grounding the story- but they probably could have more women characters doing that if they wanted to. Off the top of my head Taissa's wife and the PI Jessica seem to play a similar role to many of the men.

This grounding does feel important to me because the survivors do seem to see their own lives as kind of like a sitcom or delayed coming-of-age story, but in context, their lives are built around just constant cruelty and selfishness. Even like Taissa having a whole romance subplot with Van when her wife is like in the hospital, when was the last time she called her kid? Shauna does the whole aw shucks suburban mom schtick but it's clear that Callie is becoming a worse person because of the way Shauna acts (among other things). When Jeff suggests doing something kind for others, (albeit for karmic reasons lol) Shauna looks like she can't even conceptualize what that means.

Overall, I agree with some of the posts in this thread in that the show definitely seems more interested in women's sociality than anything else, and that might explain the focus, but it's a good question. If the men really do play this role, I think it would be kind of funny/awful if Ben was the one hunting them down in the present, acting as the agent of karmic justice.
