It is some issue with feeling you're going to be pre-judged for being female?
If so that seems strange to me, the gender of an author has zero impact on whether I'm going to get a book or not.

The reasoning was partly that women tend to have female protagonists and men have male protagonists. Boy/men did not usually buy books with female protagonists but women bought book with male and female protagonists.
You want people to look more closely on a book and if all boy/men sort away female writers without looking more closely at the book you have a problem.
