Re: Who's a better writer, men or women?
The reason is because I've read several books I could have sworn were written by a man or a woman based only on the book's theme, or the style of narration, or the ability of the author to get inside a male or female character's head. And I have been wrong many, many times.

Even though our brains try to automatically place and categorize people, it can be a dangerous business.

Men are better at: grasping a sense if reality/ a greater literary voice
Women are better at: creating a imaginative story/ developing characters

I don't think that in anything -- anything at all, including raising children and peeing from an upright position -- it can be definitively said that either men or women "are better".

So very well put!Iggy_86 wrote:I think the variation of quality and personality within the two categories (Men and Women) are more varied than the differences between the categories. There is no way and no need to compare the two because the variable is pretty irrelevant (compared to other more important variables) in this case.

I think this person said it perfectly. Writing like any other talent or ability depends on the person not the sex.Moore wrote:I think it doesn't matter as everything depends on the talent of the person. If the talent is present, then the sex of the person is not important.
