Summary based on the article "Writing Gender- Specific Language."

This article was really interesting because it provided tips on how authors can transition from male to female perspectives on stories. This article focuses on how to make dialogue more feminine or masculine (depending on the story). There were two lists of important parts that authors need to remember when writing a story. The first list included pointers for woman authors that are writing from male's perspective. These pointers involve checking for questions, explanations, feelings, details, abstractions, and approval seeking behavior. For male authors the key points are to check for advice, bragging, aggressiveness, emotions, and obliviousness. These tips can help anyone that is an author or just enjoys writing in general.
