Do you dislike all books you read written by male authors or with male main characters?

I have the same preference you do, based on what I’ve read the past year. But I don’t feel like I can’t enjoy or get immersed in books by male authors, and find main characters that aren’t women engaging.

Yeah, I hate them, I think it's because society told me to.

You joke, but it’s possible. Maybe not an internalized misandrist, but you could have some bias against men or male characters for some reason. Are you yourself more feminine? Or maybe you don’t relate to male characters because you don’t relate to the men around you in real life either? Or you don’t find the type of man you are/men you like represented in books? Or… do you just prefer female characters for no particular reason?
