male writers don't think like women, they don't undertsand them, so they give them a different behaviour, not appropriated for a woman. they can't understand full women while they write female characters
The inability to understand the 'female mind-set' via an in-depth study of women over the centuries by delving in to Literary History and various other sources.
The neutral aspect of "on" use. Also, the frequent missing she in the "he/she" use.
There's no mistake in creative writing. The writer is going to create his own characters be them female or male..they will be part of a whole plot and story and work to the end of the tale to fulfill the aim of the writer or just his lunatic desire to write a literary piece of art...
They make her sound like all she ever does is cry and talk, which is true. But never really expressing why she is doing so (the crying or the talking), what are the ideas that went through her head that made her say what she said or what she was thinking of when she poured down those tears.
Female characters should be characters first and female second. The fact that they’re women shouldn’t get in the way of their other traits.
Don’t have all your female characters be sexy when the physical appearance of your male characters can vary wildly.
Not all women desire marriage and children. Some want one or the other, some want neither.
Female characters should probably not be solely motivated by a need to have the approval or attention of a man.
Avoid overly “empowered” female characters. Empowerment doesn’t mean she’s terrible to men just for being men—it just means she’s not stepped on for being a woman.
Probably more of a personal peeve than anything else, but I really, really dislike that one female archetype who is rude and often violent to her spineless male love interest, but they end up together in the end anyway.
In a romance story, or a story containing elements of romance, please don’t give the female lead stupid reasons for liking the hero. Reasons like “he’s well-endowed”
Don’t have a female character for the sake of having a female character, which is something I see happen in video games and comics a lot. Give her something to do that isn’t doting on the hero.
thinking about them like he wantes ....and doing non interview with ladies
Of course 'She' becomes 'He'
Four words : Shaved legged, emotional alien.
From my experience, they see woman as one dimensional, very simple in attitude and somewhat weak. Generalizations and stereotypes are most common
for my onion the word girl is the writer natural mistake
