DSM diagnoses incorporated into future questionnaires?

I find it interesting that some mood disorders are more prevalent in females (i.e. borderline personality disorder - 3 times more prevalent in women than men!) while others are more prevalent in males (i.e. antisocial mood disorder). Why is it that certain mood disorders affect one gender more than the other?? BPD also results in more stereotypically "female" behaviours i.e. high emotionality, "neediness", eating disorders etc.. while antisocial results in increased criminal activity, being a "tough guy" i.e. having no real emotional responses, and increased aggression -- more sterotypically male behaviours. Could be a great topic for future research?
