I'm very happy with the authors I read regularly. If it turned out that some were using pen names to hide their gender it would not worry me in the slightest. If 99% of these authors turned out to be of a single gender it would not distress me in the least. As for being supported and not having to work? What rubbish. Before the explosion of Indies and ebooks only a tiny minority of authors were ever able to quit their day jobs. They wrote before work and after work and on weekends and holidays. Most of them still do.
