This is almost definitely a male. Female cassowary do not incubate their eggs, nor raise the chicks. This responsibility falls on the males.

Also, I'm pretty only males have the "bent" head thing. Do those things have a proper name??

It's called a casque. It could be 'bent' in either sex, but since females are larger than males and have a larger casque, any deformity could seem more pronounced.
