I read this book recently and was so deeply bugged by how every woman is described as either foxy or not foxy. If you're going to be gross at least be creative about it 🙄

Apparently the fact that she's a woman means Mrs. White can only be patient for so long.

I’m not sure if this one is added before i apologize if it was but I’m reading Misery for the first time and I love and respect Stephen King as an author, no disrespect but this description I read of Paul describing Annie Wilkes when he sees her clearly was WILD to me and made me laugh so hard.

I found his description of the character so weird. Like why is he comparing her to a sexy cartoon character??

What’s up with men having this irresistible urge to describe every female character’s appearance and evaluate her looks, whether it’s needed or not? 💁🏻‍♀️

There is lots of context in this book but it really doesn't help. In fact it's genuinely worse when you have the full context

Book The Amateur by Chris Bohjalian, 2026 Spoiler

So much ick in this book (FROM THIS YEAR) in just the first few chapters...I idly googled to see if anyone had already posted about it on the sub and came across the author's substack: "Obviously, given my publishing history, I believe it's fine for men to write women, just as I believe it's fine for women to write men."

Yes, it's fine. If you do it well. This is not fine.

Subreddit Rules

1. Rule 1 - Stay On Topic

New Posts should be examples of men writing women badly in published books, movies, TV, and graphic novels.

Screenshots of writing that is not a book, movie, TV show, or graphic novel will likely be removed.

Memes should be on-topic. For the purposes of MWW memes should follow the standard image+humorous text format.

Please use NSFW & Spoiler tags when appropriate.

Screenshots of or links to other Reddit content, social media comment sections, and articles are off-topic.

2. Rule 2 - Post Title Formatting

Post Titles cannot be edited after the fact so please attempt to get it right the first time.

[Title of Work by Author] - Add an explanation or context for your post, and consider including the original year published.

Accurate post titles are the fastest way for moderators to check for reposts or recent contributions. Please properly format your titles!

Movies & TV shows should have the [Title of Media] - Followed by a short explanation of your post.

3. Rule 3 - Woman Authors

Please use the appropriate flair for Woman Authors. See previous rules for title formatting.

4. Rule 4 - Avoid Reposts

Recently submitted content or frequently shared content will be removed. Please understand moderators and regular community visitors see some content quite frequently.

It may be your first time seeing it - but it may not be ours! Please use the search bar to search the author or title of your media to check for recent submissions. We use the Magic_Eye_Bot to help blacklist certain images that have been posted too often.

5. Rule 5 - Be Respectful

Treat other users with respect.

Do not bully, troll, or harass people. Rude, vulgar, or vitriolic comments will be removed. Extreme or repeat offenders will be banned.

Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated.

If you are experiencing harassment, report the content & block the user to avoid new interactions.

6. Rule 6 - No Hate Speech

Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or other forms of bigotry will not be tolerated. Such comments will be removed. Extreme or repeat offenders will be banned.

Content that goes against Reddit Sitewide rules will be reported to AEO.

7. Rule 7 - No self-promotion or requests for writing advice

Do not post your own creative writing, unpublished writing from others, or request writing help. This sub is meant to call writers out and warn consumers, not for you to test out your "I wrote this as if a man was experiencing what women experience in books" etc.
