Reply to comment by horrifyingthought in Why don’t I, as a woman, like books with female protagonists? by out_cyder

It’s definitely a possibility. I enjoy horror and thrillers with lots of gore. I can rarely find gory books written by female authors

My experience is that as soon as a thriller is the least bit gory the female characters will be just fucking terrible. Even when the author or one of the authors (I'm looking at you "Lars Kepler" aka Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril) is a woman.
