Actually you did say that if you look over the snippet of your post above women = female and gay=gay you just rephrased it a bit whether you realized it or not. There might be a grain of truth to the first part (about women) though as the Romance market is where the largest share of books are published each year and I imagine most (though not necessarily all) of the book buyers in that genre are women simply because more women than men read romances. Though you don't have to be gay to read romance novels either.
