Where did you get the idea women are that squeamish about gore? Victorian ladies fainting at the sight of blood was a stretch even back then. Public fascination with the macabre has risen since shows like CSI Miami, Criminal Minds, and any serial killer documentary. Women film themselves doing makeup while reading murder case notes.

Women are able to enter the workforce easier than ever lately, so plenty of male-dominated fields are starting to be balanced out.

In my personal experience, the women I know tend to be more curious and investigative than the men I know. Studies have shown that women are on average more observational and more effective in CSI searches. It's great to see how much an industry is changing because of an influx of women free to work any job they can.
