Already scanned the posts.There's potential for an amusing theme there, but the sub is exactly as boring and stupid as you'd think it is. Pretty much all the quotes seem to be taken from the disposable schlock you'd expect to see sandwiched between The Hunger Games and whatever books their high school forced them to read, so they aren't good finds. The other posts are just retards applauding each other over Twitter screencaps.

Women generally write men better than men write women, but men also tend to not try to write women. They write about men. Women inevitably write about men as much as they do women.

Women are much more social creatures than men. Physiologically, they are basically minmaxed for interpersonal relationships. YA novels are ideal for women not exactly because of the text itself, but because having read the book allows them to further relate to other readers. They talk about which Hogwarts house they'd belong to. They playfully debate about Team Edward vs Team Jacob. They read YA novels because they provide an unchallenging avenue to further connect with other people, and to an extent YA novels tend to have an emphasis on the parasocial thrill of connecting with fictional characters. Connection is what they're all about. A woman on a desert island with all the books in the world would not read. She wouldn't even build a shelter. There'd be no one to connect with or relate to, so she'd probably just lie there and die. You might be inclined to look down on women for this reliance on socialization, but bear in mind that their entire evolution was shaped by their ability to be effective mothers. If the consequence of my wife's radiantly beautiful love for my son is that she doesn't really give a fuck about Moby Dick for its own sake, then I can live with that.
