Look at Nicholas Sparks: emotion-based romance novels were his bread and butter. I also loved The Broken Hearts Club by Ethan Black, which focused a lot on the (male) protagonist's feelings. On the other hand, one of my favourite mystery authors (Allison Brennan) is female, and her attention to detail is incredible.
I am a woman, but you probably won't catch me reading many romance novels. I find them convoluted and, thus, don't enjoy them.

Bernard Cornwell - “I do understand that you can look into someone’s eyes,” I heard myself saying, “and suddenly know that life will be impossible without them. Know that their voice can make your heart miss a beat and that their company is all your happiness can ever desire and that their absence will leave your soul alone, bereft and lost.” I have that written in a journal of book quotes b/c I loved it so much.
Or, to be less deep, take a deck - I could probably build a deck better than my husband could, therefore write about it with more detail/expertise to make the reader understand what it is I am saying.

It does not matter if you are female or male or something in between. Your approach to writing does not depend on your gender. However, your life experiences may have an effect on your approach to writing and your education level will probably affect your ability to write well.
But, it all depends on the writer.

Sometimes I try to tell if the style of a book I'm reading is more obviously a man or a woman. With the best authors it's pretty much impossible to tell.
