Well, it had to happen. Here’s the blurb for a film in which a Yeti is the horror interest. Probably a male monster.
Contrast this to Herge’s poignantly misunderstood beast 
. In Tintin in Tibet, the yeti is shy, lonely, and female. I gather there is a play, with strong ecofeminist leanings, called ‘Betty the Yeti’—to be sought, indeed.
For sheer strangeness, what about ‘Sex Secrets of the Yeti’ (google it yerself!) – which so far as I could determine puts forth (ahem) a male monster.
Best not to take this too seriously.

The yeti in Tintin in Tibet is female? Nonsense! It’s repeatedly referred to as “he”.
