Exactly. This is why I didn't answer the poll. It is not that I *prefer* female authors, it is just that they tend to dominate the genre I read -- paranormal romance and urban fantasy. Though as you move more toward urban fantasy, you will find more male authors. Men just don't do romance or don't do it that well. Even m/m romance is mostly written by women.
