Then your reading must be very limited indeed. The focus should be on the book, not on the race or sex or other characteristics of the author. I very much doubt you would be able to pick which authors are male or which female in a suitable blind test, and certainly not by the quality of their characters. The whole James Tiptree/Alice Sheldon saga is most instructive in this regard.
