My co-author and I have had long discussions on this, because I refuse to read works without at least one strong female character. I don't necessarily care if she's the love interest or not, I just want a strong female character, and I get tired of sausage-fests pretty quickly. My co-author, on the other hand, has never enjoyed writing female characters, and gravitates toward writing men, and her female characters mostly come off as barely even 2D, let along 3D, unless I prod her a lot on it.

As for myself, I'm comfortable writing male or female characters, and often enjoy writing my female characters more.

I also read a lot, and I gave up reading a novel that had all sorts of rave reviews, but when I started it, I didn't find even word one mention of a living female character until around 150 pages in, and just after she was mentioned, she was murdered. Uh. No.
