To use movies as an example, "Gone With The Wind" might be considered "Women's Fiction" while "First Blood" (the first Rambo movie) could be considered "Men's Fiction."
*I checked on Wikipedia to find out how many genres there were and how they are defined so I could update my digital music library. There were literally hundreds of them with many genres very specific (such as Wonky Pop, Dream Pop, Death Metal, Drone Music, Lounge Music, Wizard Rock, and Psychobilly). It was so confusing I just went with general genres (such as Country, Pop, Jazz) and took my best guess.

Some of those so-called music genres are not real. That's just someone's made up genre. Wonky Pop, Dream Pop, Done Music, Wizard Rock, Phychobilly are all made up nonsense.
When you go to the books entry on Amazon. it comes up as a medical romance book. To me, the term Women's Fiction is demeaning. I've never seen Men's Fiction and if there was such a thing, romance would not be.
