My old pal Starfury and I discussed this last year. Our thought was that females would show the ability earlier because women do tend to mature at a younger age than men, AND from an evolutionary point of view it would be beneficial for women to be able to recognize a potential threat to their young when they come of child bearing age.
Also, remember what the doctor said when she examined Nick. That he had extra cones in his eyes that apparently let him see in a slightly different spectrum than others. (The near ultraviolet or infrared. By the way couldn't be beyond that because the eyes themselves would have to be much larger. i.e. to see in radio waves a creature would need eyes the size of beachballs. Matter of physics.) But, she also mentioned that one out of a thousand women also have those extra cones. So, perhaps women have a 'grimm like' genetic predisposition that most men don't. Just thinking out loud.
As for who is more aggressive, I don't think we really have enough of a sample to answer that. Truble thought she was going insane, Kelly was on the run for nearly 20 years, and Marie was trying to hide Nick from the Royals and the Werrat. They all had reason to be extra aggressive and protective of themselves and others.
