I am not saying I don’t read books by female authors. I am just saying I prefer books written from a male point of view. This doesn’t mean I think I am “not like other girls”. I just tend to relate to fictional men more than I relate to fictional women.

You might be onto something. I tend to like despicable characters way more than the good guys. Now that you make me think about it, a female character I really enjoyed reading about is Nakota from The Cipher. She is objectively a vile human being but I found her really entertaining and different. I also loved the fact that she was described as objectively ugly, which I don’t see a lot in books (she is not the main character though)

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

I mostly read horror/thriller for both.

I literally never said I don’t like ANY book written by a woman. I said that I don’t like female leads and I usually prefer books written by male authors. I never said I don’t read books by female authors
