People are drawn to and fascinated by taboo topics, and one's experiences and upbringing determine the relationship with those taboos a person has.

Women have personal experiences with creepy/dangerous men, it's a "known danger" they hear about from a young age, and serial killers represent the extreme example of this -- it's not really surprising "true crime" type media is popular with women.
