I know that there have been a handful, but this is shonen, aimed at young boys, having been a young boy in the past is an advantage, but the femenine perspective can be a refreshing for the same reason.
Furthermore, there are also many female readers in WSJ, as well (not just boys). Plus, many female authors have proved that the gender doesn't matter for writing shounen manga (possibly matter for seinen, though).
-
My view is the opposite, as there is too much sexism in the industry that only the extremely talented ones can break into shonen.

What do you mean by "sexism in the industry?"
Plus, I don't think the extremely talented female authors can be success in shounen magazine. Yes, there are many success female authors in shounen magazine, but there are also the authors who didn't made success as well. But, it isn't because these female authors got axed due to being "female," it is because they didn't create the interesting story (and this goes for same as well for male authors who (as you said) have advantage as being young boy in the past).
Of course, only people with extremely talented mangaka can survive in manga industry, but the gender is no relation with that.

I could be wrong as I never bothered to count them, but my general impression is there are far more female authors in shounen manga magazines than there are male authors in shoujo magazines.
That's less about sexism and more about simply creators writing for field they can relate to, and readership preferring material they can relate to.
-
Is there any male author that write shoujo manga?
I can name at least 5 shounen manga(FMA, Inuyasha, D-gray man, Tsubasa, Magi)written by female authors but I don't think I have ever come across any shoujo manga written by male authors. They probably use pen name so maybe I didn't realise it.
There is also the author of Black butler which I think is a female but I'm not sure. -
I think Shoujo doesn't normally sell as well as Shonen, right?

No. Not at all.
To name a few examples: before its infamous hiatus, Nana was selling better than both Fullmetal Alchemist and Hunter x Hunter, at its peak Kimi ni Todoke was selling better than Naruto, and Aoharu Ride had a bigger anime boost than even Yowamushi Pedal.
There is no doubt shoujo manga can be and often is just as successful as shonen manga. If there is a difference between the two different demographics oriented series, it is that popular shoujo manga tend to be much shorter than popular shonen manga. Few shoujo manga go past 20 volumes, even less pass 25 volumes, and I will have trouble remebering any shoujo series to go on after its volume 40 beside Glass Mask.

There is also the author of Black butler which I think is a female but I'm not sure.One of the most famous one would be Mineo Maya, the mangaka for Patalliro!
While Patarillo! isn't very well known outside of Japan, the manga and the anime was very popular during the 80s and currently 90+ volumes long and still going. (over 100 if you count the spin-offs)
At 22 million copies, it ranks in the top 100 manga list. -

Preview for upcoming Himouto! Umaru-chan (series from Young Jump) animation:
-
This PV gave me Diabetes.
-
It's a romance series, of all the shonen series that I've read, the one with the healthiest and less stupid or contrieved "falling in love" phase was FMA, also written by a woman.
I was just pointing out the flaw in the logic presented. Being a woman or a man won't necessarily mean anything, nor does what you just stated. At the very best, it might be a flawed indicator of what might be expected and that's about it.

The shonen jump one shot was fucking amazing. Holy shit, most mangaka would KILL to have a first chapter be so immersive and fascinating. And this was done by a non japanese foreign team? Fucking A. Give these guys work, I want MORE!!!

Sesuji wo Pin is doing pretty well. It's getting another colour page so soon!
-
a swimming manga you say?
haikyuu's awful doujinshis are going to have a rival soon
-
It looks like Jump is pushing sports genre lightly.
-
So Lady Justice's debut ranking is low as expected. Meanwhile Sesuji wo Pin! to is ranking 4th with its second chapter and has another color page incoming… absolutely wonderful to see imo, I'm happy that it's being well received.
-
Good, Jump needs more sports series.
-
Best Blue has been my most anticipated serialization for over a year. Glad it's getting a shot. Though the preview for next issue didn't announce a serialization round, it only showed Best Blue…..
-
Aw man, do they really have such low expectations for Devilyman? Or did it get bad after those first few chapters?
