This word is used to describe someone who bothers or even annoys other people
in order to get attention.

The most common translation to English is drama queen, and the Japanese
version sounds feminine too, so this has led me to the question.

Can かまってちゃん be used for men aswell?

Can かまってちゃん be used for males?
Yes, it is used for men as well.

I googled and found many usages.

I also found an expression かまってくん for a man.
