Well for me i would say It seems intuitive that reminding people they will die impacts their emotions. But do men and women react differently to thinking about their inevitable demise?
For more than 15 years, experimental social psychologists have explored how people respond to reminders that they will die. Typically, this involves having them write a short response to two items related to their own death (e.g., "Please jot down, as specifically as you can, the thoughts and feelings that your own death arouses in you".) Following this, people typically are asked to report on a 1-5 scale how much they are feeling several emotions.
Oddly (to me at least) these researchers have typically found that reminders of death (compared to other aversive topics) do not elicit mood or emotional changes using these scales. Study after study has found that men and women do not report feeling any differently after being reminded of death. The standard thinking here is that people aren't that emotionally impacted by these subtle reminders of death, even though they frequently elicit a wide range of other effects (e.g, increased self-enhancement, need for coherance, and worldview defense).
