Usually when I am assigned to write stories for creative writing or English, I always make the main character female. Why? I have no idea.

I have created a poll. Is your main character usually a male or female?

This can apply to regular sentences, too. In my school, instead of defining vocabulary or key terms, we sometimes have to use those words in a sentence. My sentences usually have a feminine subject.

Chuck Paluniuk, the author of Fight Club, said he had some struggles with writing a 'male' lead because he was told that mostly middle-aged women read, and what they read were those romance novels. I think 'Harlequin' or something? Idk. So he said something like he was a bit scared while creating these male leads for his story, and in essence, writing for men.
