There is a proven fact that more women read books (especially fiction) than men.

So what percentage of /lit/'s population is female?

there may be a disproportionate amount of readers because aging women read romance novels.

old men are either dead, or go out drinking.

Yeah, two opposing schools can both "prove" their own theories from looking at the same behavior. That's a scientific system.

Anyways, I only really read fiction, occasionally some light nonfiction though, but never anything too deep outside of what I study.

Female. I read mostly fiction, but I read non fiction from time to time (mostly history). Currently struggling through 100 Years of Solitude in the original Spanish right now (its a fantastic book, but my Spanish is shit)

Even though OP says it's a fact that more women read books, less women browse 4chan so I'm not surprised its a sausagefest here.
