Calling all women

[Holbytlass]

I should have put this in my second post of why I like TH. I read TH only 4 years ago at the ripe age of 28. I was smart enough to tell it was 'simpler' and it didn't bother me in the least it had no females, because I was in it for the story not the anatomical make-up.

Why so old? Because my mother (the reader in the family) didn't and still doesn't care for the fantasy/sci-fi genre, whereas I eat it up. I was at the mercy of what she brought into the home.

Would these women not read/give them to their daughters (or younger female relations) because there are no females in the story? Are they that hung-up on gender that they would deny others to experience something different? Would they be so hipocritical and let their sons (male relations) read it but not the females because it's a "boy's story" thereby perpetuating one gender can't do something because of the way they were born?
