Are women as 'screamy' in real life as in thriller movies?

I was wondering if that's true, or if it's just a popular movie gimmick. Then I saw United 93, which is suppose to be much more realistic than the average serious film, but it too concentrated more on the women screaming, compared to the men. If I wrote a thriller with male characters freaking out and screaming at the highest pitch, would come across as scary and dramatic, or would it just produce bad laughs, and nothing can make it convincing?
 
I remember, when I was in high school, a big group of us went camping by the lake. Little did we know that the lake was home to a psycho killer. Yeah, those babes were pretty screamy.

Oh, wait...that never happened. Sorry, my memory got jumbled.

There was that one time, however, when a small group of friends and I went spelunking, in the Appalachians. Those dames got pretty screamy when the mutant cave-people started chasing us.

Oh, wait..that also never happened.

Let's see, there was that time a group of terrorists robbed the building I worked in, on Christmas Eve, oh no, that never happened. There was that time a giant shark terrorized the tourist town I was, oh, no, that never happened.

Gosh, come to think of it, I've never been in a situation that is even slightly similar to the madness that happens in pretty much every movie. I guess I just don't know how I or anyone else would react. Maybe that's why they call it "fiction".
 
Women'll scream under the covers and behind closed doors IF you know how to get 'em there. ;)


But if you can get guys to scream - that's cool.

From my experience, when struck with axes they just wince, not scream.

If you show them your tiny paycheck they scream.
Or just slam doors.
