"She writes like a woman, and by that I don't mean girly, or frilly"

Who else do you think writes like a woman, Rose? I was wondering what that means.

I sort of consider that Jen's favorite author, Connie Willis, writes "like a woman," as most of what's going on her books is told from the point of view of her female characters and their minds. But I'm not sure that the writing is feminine, although I suppose it must be.

I once read a mystery by a female, in which it was related that one of the male protagonists wore socks that matched his pants. That was a definite giveaway that the writer was female, since such a detail would never occur to, or be important to a guy, either the writer or the actual character itself.

*chuckling*

I've been asked numerous times if I ride my scooter like a woman... and then complimented because I ride like a man. This disturbs me greatly! Of course I ride like a woman... I am one! Riding with skill is genderless! BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!!! Biker guys hate it when I say that! :-D
