I don’t think you need to ‘write for women’, per say. You don’t need to write about shoes and babies and periods. Women have brains the way men have brains. If you just change the name of the character; that’s what Angelina Jolie did with Salt, which was a role originally for Tom Cruise. I think male writers maybe panic that they can’t write female characters too much. Just change John to Jane. (x)
