Someone will probably find a dozen examples where I'm very wrong, but it's something I started noticing when a post went around of "The only way to be a Good Writer is to stick to third person objective, always. Subjective is lazy and stupid because you're just telling the audience how someone feels, not showing them!" And I looked at it and went ".... but I hate objective, it's all dry and a little pretentious and cold and..... the reason most of my book shelf is made up of women authors?"

And then I started paying attention to it in more amateur work, like binging on free-for-today fantasy e-books on Amazon, and yeah it's mostly crap, but there does seem to be a preference in preferred style. And it could entirely be that dudes read mostly dude dominated genres and pick up dude writing habits, and women read women dominated genres and pick up women writing habits.

Like Harry Potter's a good example, one of the reasons (as if people need them) for the race wank is probably she barely describes people in there physically. You get all personality, no bra size.
