I think one of the first tweets in the article points out that male authors write female characters in this way, and then pretend that it is exactly how “real” females are.
No one’s out here complaining about male characters in female-oriented romance novels because no one is pretending that these are “real” men. It’s a fantasy — the author knows it, the author’s intended audience knows it. Anyone who bases their expectations solely on the fantasy is probably disappointed, often. We shouldn’t associate ourselves with such people anyways.
I think this article points out a valid problem in today’s publishing world. Male authors write these stupid portrayals of “women”, then congratulate themselves on finally solving sexism. When these pretenders come up against people that actually have women’s best interests at heart, they get eviscerated for their failure to connect with the audience they’re targeting.
We shouldn’t associate with such authors anyways, my friend.
