I agree that it's sexist to put all books by men into a category and prejudge them based on the gender of the author. I'm a feminist myself, and I don't agree with the the idea that "it's only sexism if it's also systemic." However, sexism that runs counter to systemic prejudice is not the same as sexism that plays into systemic prejudice, and to compare them as equals is problematic.

That said, if one finds that they usually prefer books written by female authors, there's nothing wrong with choosing to read mainly books by female authors. There's also nothing inherently wrong with saying you prefer to read books by female authors. There is, however, something sexist (and therefore kind of wrong) about making sweeping generalizations about all male authors - e.g. "Male authors just aren't as good as female authors," or, "Male authors can't write [subject]."
