These two Easterlings that are marching into the Black Gate are female.

 

This is an interesting fact about the Soldiers of Rhun? =D

Or... Those are just the actresses playing them since it is just the movie. Hell it could just be men with a shit ton of eyeliner.

I'm not really surprised as some women played the role of Rohirrim Men already.

Movies often use females for costumes and cosmetics since they usually have slimmer features compared to males.  Especially in the face and head.  It is very common practice to hide a female under bulky costumes since you can build-up on a female figure, while the common male figure often requires reduction, which is obviously not quite as easy.  Sort of surprising how many character designs like this, even masculine monster makeups, use females.

Actually on the picture only the right one looked feminine. The lighter skinned one obviously had a man face.

They used females for the elves at Helm's Deep also.
