Counterarguments

Do women simply write more stories centering around marriage, sex, and romance, with covers that reflect the contents of the book?

Perhaps, but not in large enough degree to justify the immense discrepancy in cover art. Many of the men's titles did actually center on romance.

Also, even were that true, it may well be that women publish romantic stories because those are the ones they can publish (c.f. The Arrangement)
