Realization From A Woman About How Men Can't Actually Write From A Woman's Perspective
Women can harness a man's personality and put it on a page; however, men do not operate in the same way.
As a writer myself, and because many of my writer friends have expressed this more times than I could ever begin to count, men cannot write from a woman's perspective.

It always ends up being shallow and sexist.

It's a very sad story, but it's the truth.
One day, a Tumblr user by the name of 'annerocious' articulated a post titled "Dear Men Writers," where she did more than lay out a few inaccuracies; she straight-up called them out, and rightfully so.
I'm elated that she did! Someone had to say it!
No fear here, ladies and gents!
Fortunately for me, I don't read a lot of books written by men. But I imagine the way they admire their female characters in the mirror is equally odd.
