why do women read YA almost exclusively?

When I was young I listened to Guns N' Roses a lot, now I buy records from all musical reservoirs (not because certain genres are better, because I want to listen to as many perspectives on music as possible).
Why do women not have this drive,
If I had to read about dragons and young couples in castles or trials for 20 years I'd become so frustrated.
Are these women all stunted, artistically?
When I see these women, 40-50 odd and counting on the bus I pity their lives.

This is the art world encapsulated.
The men make the art-ful poems, (there is only one good poem written by a woman she has read, Emily Bronte).
The women co-opt the majestic quality of these poems in an attempt to attach some of the majestic qualities onto themselves.
The main focus of course being the physical nature of the beauty.
She has internalized the dependance / neccessity to man's platform to show beauty.
This is why feminism beyond equal rights has no solid footing, women put at least 3/4 of their footing for validation in the hands of men even in the products that the men make available for men.

Is it just a result of Youtube's user base being mostly children/preteens? I feel like if you're in your mid-20s and unironically reading YA fiction all the time, there's something developmentally wrong with you.

Then again, these are all seemingly tumblr obsessed thots who don't have much of a personality. You'd think with all the reading they do, they'd be a little better at explaining why they liked something they read beyond: "the characters are so diverse. lgbt representation."
