Re: Is writing female friendships hard?

(Anonymous) 2016-06-20 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
This. I think it relates to this idea a lot of people (not just men though it's probably more conspicuous with men) have that women are basically aliens with thoughts and motivations that are't comparable to those of men. That's absurd, but it's a very deeply entrenched belief for a lot of people.

It doesn't help that a lot of men simply don't have platonic relationships with women like they do with other men. Some men can't even conceive that such a thing is possible. Women are either girlfriends and wives, or potential girlfriends and wives. If they could get past that and see that friendship is possible and hey, even fun... well, then they'd gain some insight into how "female friendships" work, i.e. that they're not that far removed from friendships between men.
