I won't say that I won't read books where there is a female protagonist but it's rare. Typically I prefer male protagonists simply because I relate better to the male point of view that is used then to the female point of view that is found in most books. I like my characters flawed but strong and most female characters are either perfect or whimpy and I hate whimpy. Half the time I want to reach through the pages and strangle the woman for being wishy washy or only thinking about how she can please a man instead of doing what it is she's suppose to be doing. The fate of the world is on her shoulder but she thinks about how she looks and whether male A will find her attractive? Yeuch!

The other big reason is the rape scenario that always seem to be there hanging around the female heroine as the one thing to motivate her into doing something or the other one is the mother thing. Yes I get it being a mother is important but it's like the only motivation possible for a woman is either revenge because of rape or protecting her children thing and of course the doing it for her man. What about other motivations? Males get other motivations like the fate of humankind or greed or any other motivations but women very rarely. And yes it's nice but it's narrow in perspective and cliche and that annoys me.

However if I do find a female protagonist that doesn't fit the mold then I'll read pretty much everything with her in it.

It's all a matter of my being to relate to the character and I usually don't with typical female protagonists.

Hope this makes sense ;-)
