I’ve dated a girl with a blood phobia (found out after her cat bit me and I had to go to the clinic lol), and I’ve been in an anatomy class evenly divided between genders and girls were a lot more squeamish than guys for the most part
I've met a girl with a needle phobia, but never one with a blood phobia. Things-that-cause-bleeding phobias, yes, but not blood or bleeding itself
I genuinely don't know how a girl with a blood phobia would survive having her period. Though I guess sometimes hormone therapy can stop it
It's not that girls actually have blood phobias, it's that swooning at the sight of blood was the polite thing to do for a while in certain cultures at certain time periods. Blood and gore were "manly", the ideal women was not "manly", an un-manly person would not be able to handle the sight of blood, therefore an ideal woman should faint at the sight of blood. So they would, usually faking it. And even when a culture changes over time, elements can still leave a lasting impression, like the stereotype that women can't handle blood.
Plus not everyone's Read them all (no idea if she has), and the show does deviate from them at certain points. I think she also said his face gives away when something is going to happen
