I would answer differently if the poll matched your question. I am male and I read mostly male authors. But, it's not that I prefer to do so. It just turns out that way. So the bias here is towards male authors. But I do not "prefer" male authors to female authors. So really if the poll question was something like "I am male and I read mostly male authors", I would have voted for it. But when you say that I am male and prefer male authors, that's just wrong for the way it is.

Yes - as many others have pointed out as well the questions have been phrased in a way that doesn't reflect what I was really asking about. Unfortunately English is only my second language. I've more or less given up on this poll now.
