So I wrote a thing:

A Guide To Writing Women For Men Who Don't Want To Offend Them

I made a serious attempt to explain to male writers who don't want to come across as sexist, but don't always know how. #WritingCommunity #writingtips #amwriting

@m9nkeyy @RealDianeYap That's fine. The lesbians will repair it.

Are there any #fandom scholars still around? You know what I mean - anybody with an academic background who likes to talk fandom or #fanfic or #Fanarts or anything related? We could meet? On discord or whatever? Have a real conversation? Hit me up!

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@Singularitycel2 @cynomel That is not what hysterical means.

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@mm85007623 @devahaz @shakoistsLog @justalexoki Yes. That's the point. Guys like the one on the right look weird. So we tend to prefer the left kind.

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@shakoistsLog @SmilebotAR @justalexoki Oh I assure you, the gf is right on point

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@MaddoxMisc @LunaBean111 @shakoistsLog @SmilebotAR @justalexoki Do you think the women who took that survey were lying?

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@KhaledH010 @n_two @suchnerve The beauty of that is, it'll probably make you more appealing

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@fluckter88299 @suchnerve The left one looks confident in his body, and likable. The right one looks like he has priorities very unlike mine. Also the left one is just physically more attractive to me, though full disclosure, I'm a lesbian, so what would I know

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@HalfwayPost That's not satire, that's just what's happening.

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@JamaalR05295967 @nightwatchman76 @BondJohnBond @esjesjesj No, it's hilarious, they get so upset about it

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@nightwatchman76 @LittenDraws @esjesjesj That's not guessing. That's reading.

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@CalRizzerected @JazminIste56121 @WydRaya So what, your think acting and prostitution is the same? Argue that one for me, please

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@I_WolfYOU_ @WydRaya Because that is what a woman looks like whenever the gaze isn't tailored to what's called the male gaze

@scalper_sauce @awomanmarried @views09_ Anne Hathaway. Drastically starved herself for Les Misérables. Among others, I'm sure.

@Blue__Ronin @ask_aubry You could say it's a test and they fail, even though that was not what OOP aimed for.

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@Blue__Ronin @ask_aubry I get where you are coming from. It's a pretty typical miscommunication. The guys zone in on the problem they are asked to solve. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, however the answers here show that that just isn't the right approach in the context of dating.

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@rasmus_wiman @ask_aubry I mean, that is the purpose of that subreddit, asking whether you are overreacting. It's a requirement.

[Patricia Penn @PatPennAuthor]

@rasmus_wiman @tinajkl @ask_aubry Never once in my life have I heard a woman say that.
