No, not exactly. From what KC explained, a fundamental difference between human men and women is how their Spirit Energy works. Men inherently generate more by themselves, but women absorb more from the environment.

Because of this, when exposed to DE, men's bodies start generating more and more SE to compensate (though are still slightly affected by the DE), while women's bodies absorb the DE around them, therefore becoming Mamono themselves.

Men can become Mamono (such as Alps), however, if they subconsciously sabotage their own generation of SE, which allows them to absorb enough DE to transform.
