» thesnowleopard - Can I get a witness?

Boy, does this sound familiar!

I'm on a specfic writing group and every time I write a female character, some people complain that she can't possibly be a woman because my female characters always do things that are not the least bit warm and fuzzy. I've even had editors complain about it. And yet, that hasn't stopped me from getting published. There are others on the group who complain about the same thing, yet we all get the same comments about the "masculinity" of our female characters over and over again.
