I HATE GECKOS TOO. We got one in our house last spring. Catching it was horrible - Chris wanted to kill me. We'd corner the damn thing & then it would RUN AT ME and I would scream like an infant & involuntarily do that standing-fetal-position-with-one-leg thing, and it would get by me.
For me to be afraid of kids, they have to be very unnatural and creepy (and well played), I think it's the discrepancy between how sweet looking they can be in real life and how they violate that image in certain movies.
The woman thing is, like abeah said, not so much the gender...as how these type of creatures (who in Asian movies are often ghosts of murdered women, but I've seen it with a few males as well), how these creatures move, it's a very visceral visual effect.
