I don't know that it's a gender divide, although I understand that Penthouse (used to?) put out a series of books "for men" that were allegedly non-stop action, and none of that touchy-feely stuff.
If there is a gender divide, I'd be more inclined to think that women writers tend more toward character-driven writing and men tend more toward plot-driven writing, but again, I don't think there's any hard data about it.
I was just very interested to find that, based on my last year's reading list, I tended to like books written by women (even non-fiction) better than those written by males.
