[quote=Anonymous]One of the issues here is that there are MANY more women authors writing in the YA genre. Middle grades is more split, but true Young Adult is dominated by women. In fact, young female authors are often "pushed" into YA while talented young men are hailed as "literary authors." So, when it comes right down to it, the relative lack of male characters in contemporary YA is just another way in which the patriarchy hurts everyone. YA is deemed "chick lit" by the literary establishment, so men aren't writing it. [/quote]
