Lol I feel like that's a really tiny detail compared to the overall messages that book has to offer? A lot of that book can't be taken seriously, too, so I guess I don't see why the OP is really into that ONE detail and taking it so seriously.

Psst...Good Omens doesn't dictate gender roles or perceptions in society.

[(Anonymous)]

No, but Good Omens was written by two men who might be subconsciously buying into the societal assumption that being male is the human default, and women are the Other.

[tehanu-chan.livejournal.com]

Although that's a valid point, from reading Gaiman's works (like Anansi Boys or The Sandman) you can tell that he's not one that gets carried away by social assumptions...

[reanimatrix.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and if you read some of Pratchett's other stuff (Monstrous Regiment comes to mind) it's obvious that he thinks of women as human and equal to men.

I think the poster below has a point that everyone tends to default to their own perspective, and it's something that's difficult to get over.

[(Anonymous)]

Alternatively, they could be two men who default to the male perspective because they themselves are male.

I have this problem in the opposite direction (am a woman, tend to default to the female perspective when I write).

[(Anonymous)]

I do the same.

It's especially hard when I'm writing original male characters, because there is no template to copy from (unlike writing pre-existing characters for fanfiction), so a lot of my male characters come off as feminine, which is rarely my intention :/
