I hope it’s not divulging to much to say that I’m currently [way too sporadically] beta reading for a guy who is writing female POV. We were having a related chat about it. For what it is worth, I thought he was doing a fine job of it.How do you write from an opposite gender perspective?
My general view is men and women are both H. sapiens. We aren’t that different. There are obviously some physical difference to arousal and pleasure. But even then, from a developmental biology perspective, our different genitalia have common initial roots.
If you have empathy and imagination, you can write all sorts of people who are not you.
