As far as not liking it because of gender? Who knows. I just don't get into stuff for younger audiences much. It's fairly evident that both films were created for teen crowds, which doesn't resonate with me. Never has.
But I don't think it's a gender thing. I had a buddy in college that would go with my wife (girlfriend then) to all the disney or pixar movies that she wanted to see. They were both teachers, and liked Disney movies, so it was GREAT for him to go with her instead of me.

I never even knew about Young Adult fiction until after I saw Twilight, the entire series of The Hunger Games and the first two of the Divergent series. I just liked the stories and characters a LOT. It wasn't until I looked into the authors that I found it was called Young Adult Fiction. Turned out I liked all three series, precisely because they were very different from most movies I've seen. Thought they were all very creative and unique.
Another Young Adult Fiction is
The Fault in Our Stars which also became a movie. It's not dystopian story though.
My daughter made fun of me for watching The Twilight series and she was a teen at the time and didn't care to watch it.
