Young Justice was cancelled very quickly, but I don't know if the number of female characters had anything to do with it. As far as I've heard the executive reaction was something like, "We have a successful show with an interested fan base! Quick, do a Firefly and cancel it real hard!"

Paul Dini caused a scandal by claiming that Young Justice was cancelled because too many girls were watching.

Reading that article, it sounds like Dini was assuming that reason based on comments made by execs he wasn't working for. Later he says he was personally told that Tower Prep had too many girls watching.
