heterosexual men face the issue of internal blindness when writing male characters; the men written tend to cycle back to them, their friends, or their fathers - all of whom are too similar to each other. daddy issues can make you enough of a psychopath to be a good writer, though they still lack the carnal, amorous, or sexual relations with other men that heterosexual women and homosexual men enjoy. likewise, heterosexual women lack the ego necessary to write men, meaning their work can appear unfinished or lackluster on the male experience. homosexual men are the only entities capable of achieving any type of masculine artistic apex, and it's no surprise how many works involving masculinity are written by gay men.
