I've not heard much about women kidnapping men, but given the relic elements of matriarchal traditions in the Nart Sagas of Circassian, Ubykh, and Abkhaz traditions, as well as the long-standing tradition in the Caucasus of kidnapping the bride (now mostly relegated to a willing performance worked into the wedding ceremony), I wouldn't be surprised in the least if such "culturally inverse" abductions really had taken place, even if only rarely.
I could see heroines like Lashin and Gunda doing this!
