That's hardly exclusive to the West, though. The biggest selling manga in Japan also tend to be shounen/seinen because like you said, women will also read and enjoy those whereas you don't tend to get that many guys reading shoujo/josei.

Yeah, but at least in Japan they do notice when some shoujo makes a significant enough impact. They get anime, live-action adaptations, tons of merch etc. Meanwhile we may get the anime in the US, but almost nobody promotes it, merch is almost exclusive to etsy, and no one even imagines adapting it for live-action. Notice how Sailor Moon (which isn't even technically shoujo! Just has female main characters that aren't constantly losing items of clothing) was huge in the west and there's never been more than one abortive effort to adapt it here.

DA Sailor Moon is shoujo. It ran in Nakayoshi, a monthly shoujo magazine.
