First, for the OP's comment, I just looked at my Cloud Library and the first 50 books in New Adult Fiction were written by women, all but one in the Ghost category were women, and all the Action/Adventure books were written by men. So yeah, I can see where that might happen. The new audiobook and detective listings were random male/female.
As to the argument of what men and women read, ask any marketer and they will tell you with proof that men and women read different things along a gender line. There is some splashover, but political correctness won't change it. I see it in my own experience of what others choose, although I admit I am only looking at my age group (50+) and older.
For many years, I too only read detective type books written by men. Why? The women writers did poor research on basic policing. Better writers came forward over time. But I totally agree with the comment - men get hung up on factual errors that simply should not be there. That's a poor writer who does that. Mystery cozies are full of romance writers who do zero research. Why women tolerate it is beyond me.
