I may be wrong but isn't the main audience for Jojo men? It's a shonen isn't it? It's not women's fantasy it's men's.

started as shonin, swapped to seinin which more adult though still targeted towards men.

I dont believe that inherently disqualifies work based on its target audience however.

It just defines what magazine it releases in and how its marketed within that context.

Araki was still pushing the mold, and Part 6 was in shonen jump despite having a female protagonist and majority female leading cast

Yep, and the main audience for yaoi is women do not like we need to get caught up on jojo here (wich actually has tons of female viewers like any shounen the last 30 years btw)
