My twitter feed was all on fire yesterday over this A ndrew Smith interview: http://www.vice.com/read/failure-of-male-societies-869
Particularly this:
On the flip side, it sometimes seems like there isn't much of a way into your books for female readers. Where are all the women in your work?
I was raised in a family with four boys, and I absolutely did not know anything about girls at all. I have a daughter now; she's 17. When she was born, that was the first girl I ever had in my life. I consider myself completely ignorant to all things woman and female. I'm trying to be better though.

Just curious if you saw any of this backlash...I know you were talking about this issue w/ Grasshopper Jungle.
