Looking at the stats on MR for men and women (as of right now) we have this;
Female
Taking the female total of 74 votes we have;
Prefer female authors = .16% (12 votes)
Prefer male authors = ....4% (3 votes)
No clear gender bias = ..80% (59 votes)
Male
Taking the male total of 105 votes we have;
Prefer male authors = ....24% (25 votes)
Prefer female authors = ...4% (4 votes)
No clear gender bias = ...72% (76 votes)

Sorry, but the word
prefer as used in the poll is incorrect. As we've read, most people here do not prefer a male or a female author. It's just that what is liked is written mostly by male or female authors (but not in all cases). So really, we don't (overall) prefer one sex to another.
