>On a side note, has anyone noticed that most of the movies in which protagonist is going insane and is affected by it, 90 % if the cases are showed to be women. Is there is casual sexism in it that how these curses only tend to affect women due to being a weaker sex that can be easily manipulated.

Now that you mention it yeah. It probably is rooted in the patriarchal culture of women being perceived as vulnerable.

Also because women are better sympathetic characters than men. Women empathize with them and men want to protect them. It's the basest connection they can create without having to say anything.

Yes but that sympathy is rooted in that culture "Oh man and it's just a woman dealing with all this"

Right. And that culture is where the story is being told by an artist in a business that's goal is making money. It's the shortcut. When culture changes, that'll change along with it. So far, it works.
