It might be that there's a prevailing attitude right now that it's even more horrifying that a woman gets killed in a graphic manner than if a man gets killed in a graphic manner, which generates more shock. The problem with this is it of course becomes kind of a crutch, and just makes things look lazy and, worse, really sleazy. It's kind of like how people are like "Drama? How about a rape scene!"
