I'm afraid that this question has never occurred to me to ask of myself, so I cannot answer it. When I read a book, I care about the writing in the book, not the gender of the author.
Now it is true I suppose that my favorite authors (Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, Neal Stephenson, Hal Duncan and a few others) are male, but so far as I can determine, that's purely coincidental. I'm just as happy reading Ellen Kushner or Jane Yolen as I am Charles de Lint or Jim Butcher.
