Men can read Harlequin romances... but very few do, and Harlequin wouldn't stay in business by trying to market to them. They aim their advertising at their expected customers. And given how often women's interests have been shoved to the sidelines in most marketing campaigns, I rather like it when businesses go out of their way to find out what women are willing to buy.
That is true that it is many more women then men who read the type of romance as sold by Harlequin. An aunt of my wife is well into Mills & Boon which is like the UK version of Harlequin.

But getting off of romance, what else do women enjoy reading that men might not read nearly as much?
