I've come across more than a few female artists and writers whose works are total sausagefests and they just... either can't explain it, or they don't enjoy creating female characters plain and simple. Do what you like I guess, but it's sad how common it is.

[(Anonymous)]

... it's really not that hard to explain? I'm a straight woman, I'd much rather look at art of hot dudes than of women because I'm into dudes and find them attractive. It's as simple as that.

[(Anonymous)]

How come male creators have no problem drawing/writing all kinds of male characters even if they're not attracted to them?

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's pretty objectively clear that there are big differences in the way that men and women deal with all this stuff. I think it's primarily socialization but this is hardly the only big distinction between differently gendered fandom spaces.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but then also look at how much male-created media has unnecessarily sexualized female characters. They may draw/write male characters, but they also wanna look at them titties.

[(Anonymous)]

And that's also all they want from female characters in many cases, unfortunately.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, they have both (not equally, but still both)

[(Anonymous)]

So?
The question was why men write stories about men more than women write stories about women.

[(Anonymous)]

Comparing original media created by men to fanfiction created by women seems a bit apples and oranges. Most of the original media created by women that I can think of off the top of my head focuses on women. I have no idea if men write fanfiction about men more than women write fanfiction about women, though I know there are men who write slash fic, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I can say that I personally know a whole bunch of guys who write femslash fic for the same reasons that women write slash fic.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't totally agree with that

Like, theoretically the same reasons, I guess, but there's massive practical differences
