So let's try to get this figured out once and for all, is it impossible for most male or female writers to not write characters of the opposite gender that aren't that good?
It just seems like most men have a problem with writing female characters that either aren't 2D or just love interests, or just men with boobs(forgetting that men and women have some differences in how they perceive the world due to both biology and culture). Most female writers fail at writing good males by either writing men like boys or just making their male characters act in ways that men..just don't.
Is there anyway to overcome this in any medium and stop perpetual eyeroles from each gender?

My life is one series of ironic events after another. I sleep every night because it is trendy, but I don't actually rest. Resting is sincerity and honesty, it's a thing that grounds us to the core of being human and refreshes the senses, which obscure minds have ruled out as "completely and totally bullshit". And so, even if my eyes are squeezed shut and my chest heaves gently with the rolling march of involuntary function, I am not at rest. I am simply in a stage of incoherence. Every morning I wake up and drink water, and I smile while doing so, as the central idea of drinking water is done to alleviate a sincere bodily need: thirst. I do so out of artistic and authorial humor. The idea of thirst is is not so much manufactured as it is something to be overcome through the power of irony. My day progresses in this fashion, while I contemplate how tomorrow I can further overcome my own sense of irony and the profound lack of genuine interests in my own life.

I just read The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch. Her male protagonist was very, very convincing. Then again, she was very philosophically and psychoanalytically astute.

Cool, I'll give it a look.
Are their any current male writers who write from the perspective of female characters decently? I'm sorry, but many male writers just fail hard especially when they attempt to write sex scenes.
Do you think that this problem of writing decent characters of the opposite gender could be dealt with by more collaboration between male and female writers through editing, particulaly in other media?
