Re: Is writing female friendships hard?

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2016-06-19 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there's this belief that female friendships are somehow inherently different from male friendships that ...just isn't fucking true at all. Sure, there are some gender-coded activities that certain (heteronormative) people like to engage in, and media likes to harp on about bro codes or whatever, but at the end of the day my friendships with men have been exactly the same as my friendships with women.

Everyone has the same concerns, the same problems, and the same needs in a friendship. A lot of that is pretty genderless, all things considered. If there's a problem with writing female friendships, it seems to me that it's probably a problem with the author never having had a close friendship. ...Or not understanding that men and women honestly aren't that different when you take away all the gender role stuff and just focus on the person.
