Recently noticed a trend in my reading habits. Is it unusual that I prefer male authors to female authors?

I’ve been a big reader my entire life. I read everything from genre fiction to histories and biographies, classic literature and even books on philosophy and science. It’s my main form of entertainment. My tastes are quite varied and I intentionally seek out new and different books. But I’ve more recently gotten into tracking my reading and statistics, rating books and taking notes on my thoughts. It’s revealed an interesting trend.

The one consistent across all genres is that I tend to like male authors far more than female authors. It doesn’t matter what genre, time period or style. I consistently rate female written books lower than their male counterparts. This isn’t intentional. I didn’t even know some of the books I read were written by women until recently when started doing more research. I simply don’t pay that much attention to authors normally I go based off of recommendations and reviews more so than follow specific authors.

Has anyone noticed a similar trend in their preferences? I don’t know if it’s the authorial voice, writing styles, or something else, but it’s definitely something I can’t deny looking at how I’ve rated the books I’ve read over the past several years.
