I did not do the test.
And in general I do not care whether the author is male or female.
I know of only one huge exception.
I love the vampire genre and avoid 99.99% of the female writers, without even trying. I am sick of all these big beautiful broad shouldered, dark haired vampire's... blablabla... with smouldering eyes....blablabla.. who thought they could never find love again, until...blablabla.... he met her...and...blablabla... and more of that shit.
So in this genre my first selection is on the author's sex. Women are out.
I am sure I'll be missing out on some very good vampire books written by women because of this. But I am also sure I will avoid most of the worst, corny vampire books ever written.
