More male authors write thrillers. More male authors write science fiction. I'm not sure of the ratio of male to female authors when it comes to fantasy but it may be close. More female authors write paranormal books (undead). More women write romance (bosom heaving). More women write cozy mysteries. More men write crime novels.
So really, the sex of the author can depend on a lot on the genres you like to read. Pick a genre and you can see the chances of reading a male or female author vary.
