writing query
Nov. 2nd, 2011 07:10 pmWhat is this thing where everyone is 'the male' or 'other male' or 'shorter male' or whatever? Why can't writers just use the word 'man' or 'boy' or 'kid' or whatever? It throws me out of the story every time because it sounds so wrong. And I don't think I've seen someone using 'female' in the same way.
