    I think it's because women are generally too smart to fall for that kind of bullshit.

I know smart women (edit: and men, obviously) who uncritically beelined to material affirming their views and biases too. It's not about peoples' intelligence or gender, and far more about people feeling lost, lacking direction or sense of belonging.

Women are also less likely to agree/accept a message that preaches they should be in a subordinate position within society. People feeling lost like being told they are special (thus men accept more of JP's material) while none likes being told they are inferior, especially when they lack a direction in life (thus women tend to stray away from JP's messages).
