....There's a "stereotypically masculine" writing style now?

I think I just made that face too. XD Praytell... what is a stereotypically masculine writing style? Does it lack in smilies and sparkles?

There was some hot air about this by a novelist a while back, about how male novelists are easily distinguishable from female novelists because of how "trite" the latter were (after a female colleague of his won the Nobel prize), naturally, so a magazine posted excerpts from male and female novelists without names attached to see if the general public could really tell.

The result: they couldn't. It's nonsense.

yeah, this...I never thought of [personal profile] ill_omened as particularly masculine. Not particularly feminine either, but I didn't have any reason to venture away from the "probably a girl, but I don't really know for sure" default of most people on here (and in fandom in general).

As a side note, I am careful about pronouns. I also frequent the Internet in a some more male-centric places as well and I'm kinda tired of getting "he".

Yeah me neither. Certainly nothing that stood out from any of the female posters here.

I frequent quite a few "he is default, mention you're not a 'he' ever and that makes you an attention whore" type places - which is worse, not believing someone when they tell you their gender, or deriding them should they ever tell you their gender?

I just can't make that call.
