Men and men are different as well. There isn't any feminine
viewpoint
or masculine viewpoint. It's not PC bullshit that even the
men on this
list don't share a single brain. It seems pretty clear to me
from
reading the posts. I don't think that hardboiled can be
equated with a
male point of view. Certinly there are men that write cozies
and other
non-hardboiled books are they missing the hard-boild gene, or
what is
going on there? Where on the x chromosome is that hardboiled
gene,
anyway? <g>
There are more differences between men and between women than
there are
diferences between averave men and women. That is for
both
psycological and physical differences. I also think that
applies to
writing styles.
If a male writes in a hardboiled style with a woman
protagonist, would
this be considered hardboiled, or how about a woman writing
hardboiled
using a male pseudonym with a male protagonist. How different
would it
be if you thought the writer male or female.
What a boring world it would be if all men were the same and
all women
were the same. Let's celebrate our differences. Of course I
see that
that is almost what Anthony said, and I realize that he was
just
pulling our leg and trying to get a reaction. It's obvious he
knows
better.
