Is testing job gender specific?

My perception on this is its not gender specific. Let me know yours.
I have heard many people saying testing job is good for girls. Many people in IT stream suggest freshers (especially girls) to get into testing job saying its easy and risk free. Is this true?
In my opinion it is not true. Might be true on one point - girls will have more creative thinking. So girls might suit well in this stream. Whereas, every individual will have different negative thoughts, so testing mainly requires negative thinking in a creative way to destroy an application. Thus i would say its not gender specific.
