Uh huh. Let's see what Livechart says for next season.
I count 14 shounen results. 6 shoujo results.
Anichart has 21 shounen results including holdovers and OVAs/movies. 6 shoujo.
Hmmm.
That's just labeled manga versions, of course, which is really the only area the terms apply.
Shōnen, shonen, or shounen manga (少年漫画 shōnen manga?) is manga aimed at a young male audience. The age group varies with individual readers and different magazines, but it is primarily intended for boys between the ages of 8 to 18.[1] The kanji characters (少年) literally mean "boy" (or "youth"), and the characters (漫画) mean "cartoon" or "comic". Thus, the complete phrase means "young person's comic", or simply "boys' comic". Shōnen manga is the most popular form of manga,[2][3] and the female equivalent to it is shōjo manga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dnen_manga
If you're using the terms incorrectly then that's on you.
If what you really mean to say is that there is more anime aimed at girls than at boys then there is no way in hell.
If you're trying to say that there is less anime about fighting than about everything else combined, maybe, but it's kind of silly to group anime like that. There is still a ton of anime centered around fighting and action.
It really just sounds like you're trying to make the term shounen mean fighting anime and shoujo mean anime that have girls in them. They do not mean that.
