Gender in Thrillers

In thriller it is never an issue raised abou tthe gender aspects. In most thrillers there are:
Girl in danger- she will be naive and vunerable I.E Kate who is seen as a smart girl is attacked again because she is naive to let someone in the house.

Boys in charge- In most films boys are seen as a powerful and as though they can stand up and save the girl. I.E in Cape fear the lawyer tries to save his family but his family is mainly the ones who save him and they are GIRLS .

another one is the girl is always seen alone where as the good man has an assistant. Also the men are normally the bad guys as well:
Cape Fear
Kiss the girls
Stay
Shining
Psycho
