For men who like reading fiction: Is there anything you see/read from female authors that you feel is overall wrong when they write men?
Hello! I know this is a super niche question but I feel like I see a lot of discourse in the writing community about how men portray women in books (how men ‘get women wrong’), but I never see people talk about discrepancies on how many men are/feel in real life versus how they’re written by women authors.
I know everyone is different, and that’s normally how I portray characters in my projects (I view and write characters just as just different sets of personalities/morals without thinking about their gender unless it’s specifically relevant). Is that the right way to go about it? If not, what are some things you’d like a female writer to know? What actions or thoughts from a male character would make you and your experience as a man feel seen?
