Credit goes to Reddit for the sources. Some pictures are from books I have at home myself while some are from Reddit. I'll do a part 2 immediately after this chapter to point out how female writers write male characters.

This chapter only wishes to humor, educate and spread awareness about sexist stereotypes and things that should not be included into books. If WP or any of my reader believes or perceives it as being offensive, lemme know ASAP and i'll take my content down. I am not shaming any writer, rather i am pointing out unwitty errors that survived the editor's marker.

It's worth noting that i am not saying that any gender sucks, i'm just saying, their way of writing the opposite one can often be unwitty and stereotypical.

Enjoy.

'Cuz (as rude as it may seem) as long as such things are in main-stream books, you should not be guilty about your writing. Here's a meme for you all:
