What do you think of the Invincible series, Robert Kirkman and how he characterizes women?

A short piece in Godey's Lady's Book (1832) complaining about men writing women with tiny hands

This last one was provided to me by 1958-Fury. Remember The Killing Joke? The one that had Barbara Gordon fuck Batman, obviously inspired by DCAU? Where she got crippled by the Joker? So here's apparently what the plan was for her....DC and writing women, name a more toxic couple

Again, not exactly men writing women, but illustrative of certain writers’ attitudes. Here, I’m thinking “Harlan Ellison”.

Every single time

Brasyl, by Ian McDonald (there are more like this in the book)

My favourite female characters written by men

Not exactly men writing women, but I feel it’s well within the scope of this sub. Perhaps a meme instead of a real comic, but it captures the attitude of so many male writers showcased here that I just had to post it.

I don't think there's a single shounen that writes women with respect. The very writer of One Piece claimed that he wanted to write women as heroes, and this is how he portrays them...as the very damsels in distress that he claims to hate. And don't get me started on how he oversexualizes them, ok?

The Picket Line by Elmore Leonard

I saw this tweet on twitter about how women are designed compared to men when it comes to romance media and who it is catered to...and I would love to know what everyone else thinks about it?

Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe

Does it count if it’s writing about a real, living human woman?

fun fact, every character circled here has either tried to kill assault or groom supergirl. what a great valentines day cover amirite

[Wonder Egg Priority] Them irrational womans and their silly emotions...

Coriolanus, The Chariot! by Alan Yates - 1978

Guys? I think DC Hates feminism. Here's two examples.

Edge of Eternity by Ken Follet - 2014

Who knew breasts and eyes are in synch? (Satire meme)

Chainsaw Man has amazing examples of well designed and written women characters.
