It's dangerous to generalize when it comes to reading habits and gender, or in anything, for that matter

It would probably be safe to say that some men might not care for Gabaldon's fiction.

I read one romance novel - a Harlequin romance - just to see what all the fuss was about. At the time, I worked in a used bookstore and women (and only a handful of men) came in looking for back numbers to complete their collections.

I didn't care for that Romance novel, because it seemed too simplistic for my taste. So I went back to reading about Bug Eyed Monsters (BEMs) chasing and cavorting with naked (or barely naked) females. That's called Science Fiction, which women do not like. (I'm making a joke!)
